C comme Clémentine Corse
The Corsican clementine is the emblematic fruit of the Isle of Beauty. It is the only clementine produced in France. Its exceptional terroir stretches between land and sea, on the gentle, sunny slopes of Corsica's eastern plain.
since 2007, it stands out for :
- its slender green leaves,
- its orange complexion,
- smooth, fine, shiny skin
- and its famous "green arse".

Organic, Beautiful and Good
Our clementines with Corsican leaves are grown organically with the greatest care and without any chemical treatment. They ripen on the tree and reach their orange colour gradually and naturally, without any colouring activators. That's why it's also known as "the little green arse". Harvesting is entirely manual. It takes place between October and January, depending on the variety.
Its leaves guarantee its freshness.

Un an de ma vie de Clémentine
Flowering
Bees love this period: flowering. It's a crucial stage. This is when pollination takes place. I go from being a pretty flower to a pretty fruit.
Vegetative development
It takes a few months from flower to fruit. I need time to become beautiful! The humans on the estate respect this notion of time, and I'm lucky ...
Harvest
And now I'm ripe. The pickers gently look after me. The harvest, which is entirely manual, takes around 4 months.
Tasting
You can eat me raw. And in very different ways, too - I have every confidence in your imagination!
In jars with syrup for year-round enjoyment, it's really nice.
