CLEMENTINE
THE ORIGINS OF CLEMENTINE
The clementine tree was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by Abbot Clément near Oran in Algeria. In fact, it is a cross between mandarin and bitter orange tree. Easy peeling and seedlessness made clementine prevail over mandarin.
THE VARIETIES OF CLEMENTINES
We will not specify distinct varieties for clementines.
HOW TO CHOOSE CLEMENTINE
Green clementines can be as riped as other orange ones. Similarly, the thickness of the skin is not a criterion of choice (indeed, this depends on the variety). Check that the bark of the clementines adheres well to their flesh.
HOW TO STORE AND COOK
CLEMENTINE
Clementines stay well at room temperature but do not exceed the week.
