Citrus · October – April

Mandarins

From the first early mandarins in October to Afourer in spring: sweet, easy-peeling fruit through the whole citrus season.

Our mandarins

Easy to peel, packed at source

Our mandarins are graded, packed and labelled at our IFS Food certified packing house in West Greece, and kept in PLC-controlled cold rooms until they ship.

Five varieties follow one another from October to April. Our citrus goes to customers across Europe, mainly in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
