Good to know
Description
The late Sicilian clementine is one of the most prized varieties among Italian clementines, appreciated for its sweetness, juiciness and intense fragrance. This variety stands out for its late harvest, which allows the fruit to ripen slowly in the sun, developing a rich, lingering citrus aroma.
The thin, close-fitting skin encloses firm, seedless flesh with a balanced, refreshing taste. Thanks to the mild climate of Sicily and the fertile soils of volcanic origin, late clementines offer high organoleptic quality and a complete nutritional profile.
Each fruit is picked by hand in the heart of the winter season, when the cooler days encourage the concentration of natural sugars and essential oils that make this Sicilian citrus fruit unique.
Nutritional information

With a calorie content of around 45 kcal per 100 g, Sicilian clementines are ideal for anyone following a healthy, balanced diet. The antioxidant properties of citrus fruit also help to counter free radicals, keeping the skin radiant and the body healthy.
