Clemenules
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Clemenules, medium to large in size with a slightly flattened shape. It has a
fine pulp with an excellent, juicy, and sweet flavor. Its skin is soft, making
it easy to peel, making it ideal for children. Intensely orange in color, it
may still have some greenish hues even when fully ripe.
SIZE:
The average size of these varieties ranges from 57 to 65 mm in diameter. The
minimum commercial size at Naranjas de Cullera for this variety is 54 mm.
DURABILITY:
They keep well for up to 20 days after harvesting, always following our
guidelines for conservation: remove them from the box immediately, spread them
out on a large surface, at non-extreme temperatures and humidity, away from
direct sunlight or heat sources, and discard any pieces that may have spoiled.
This is a general rule, considering they are perishable and without
post-harvest treatments; it is also possible for some pieces to spoil before
20 days.
POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS:
Like most mandarins, they may have a few seeds due to cross-pollination.
Lemons
We serve lemons of the Eureka and Vernia varieties. These varieties have few differences between them,
sometimes even more similar to lemons of different varieties than lemons of the same variety. They are
of medium or small size. They are spherical or oval in shape with a short nipple, and have a smooth,
thin rind. The pulp is juicy with a high juice content. They have a long post-harvest life, of about
30 days or even more.
Its harvesting period is, depending on the year, from the beginning of December to mid-April.

the environment. Treatments are only applied when necessary and always
