The Clementine is often considered the crown jewel of the naartjie family. Small, bright, and incredibly sweet, these “zipper-skin” citrus fruits are a favorite for everyone from busy professionals to parents packing lunchboxes. They are typically the most aromatic variety, filling a room with a refreshing citrus scent the moment they are peeled.
