Tallarico Citrus: a journey through tradition and history in Calabria.

The world of citrus fruits is a fascinating universe of colors, scents, and flavors.

From juicy oranges to tart lemons, the variety is endless. 

The origins of citrus fruits

The story of citrus fruits begins with three (or four, counting the papeda) fundamental progenitors: the citron, the mandarin, and the gigantic fruit known in different regions as jaffa or toronja. 

 

This common base highlights the surprising diversity of citrus fruits that we enjoy today.

Citrus production in Calabria

Calabria, with its exceptional production, stands out as one of the key regions for citrus cultivation in Italy.

 

With about 63% of clementines, 32% of oranges, 39.1% of mandarins, and 4.6% of lemons, this land boasts a wealth of citrus varieties.
