The Corsican Clementine

Distinguished by its diminutive size, thin skin, dark tapered leaves, and beguiling flavor, the Corsican Clementine is considered by many to be the best variety available. The only clementine grown in France, this single citrus fruit will brighten any meal or recipe with its delicious flavor. Grown on the Eastern coast of France, this region faces lower temperatures than the rest of the Mediterranean. A cooler climate limits the accumulation of sugars in the clementine and gives it the well-balanced flavor for which it's famous.
