MANDARIN
Mandarin oranges have always been very popular. In spring, they tend to be harder to peel and have more pips. However, the new varieties from the University of California have solved this problem with a product guaranteed to be seedless and very easy to peel.
García Mateo & Sinova are pioneers in the distribution in the USA and Europe of these mandarins, grown in Spain and South America.
