Clementine

Our customers use clementines because of their natural sweetness, easy-to-use format, and strong consumer appeal as a fresh and processed ingredient. Clementines have a mild, sweet citrus flavor with low acidity, making them ideal for juices, snacks, desserts, and flavoring applications. Their bright orange color enhances visual appeal, while their juice and zest are often used to add natural citrus flavor without overpowering other ingredients. Clementines are also rich in vitamin C, supporting immune health claims and better-for-you positioning. Additionally, they can be processed into juices, concentrates, and extracts, which extend shelf life and make them convenient for large-scale manufacturing and consistent product formulation.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

A Popular Tangor

Clementines are a small variety of citrus fruit belonging to the mandarin orange family. They are typically seedless, easy to peel, and have a smooth, glossy orange skin. Clementines are believed to have originated in North Africa and are now widely grown in Mediterranean climates and other warm regions. They have a naturally sweet and mild flavor with low acidity compared to other citrus fruits. Clementines are usually in season during the winter months and are often sold in clusters due to the way they grow on trees.
