Grand Island Citrus blazed a trail by embracing “easy-peel” seedless mandarin varieties. As consumer demand peaks during late fall and early winter, our Tangos step into the spotlight.
Why Tango?:
Tango Mandarins:
Flavor Profile: Exceptionally sweet with a well-balanced acidity, Tango mandarins offer a delightful taste experience.
Skin: These mandarins practically peel themselves. The “zipper” skin makes snacking effortless.
Orri Mandarins:
Distinctive Flavor: Orri mandarins boast a unique flavor profile, combining sweetness and tanginess.
Colorful Skin: Their lovely color adds visual appeal to any fruit display. Thin and easy to remove, the skin adds to the overall appeal.
At Grand Island Citrus, we prioritize both fruit quality and food safety.
Our practices go beyond the ordinary:
Primus Labs GFS Certified A-Rating: We maintain this internationally recognized certification. It ensures that our produce meets the highest standards of safety and integrity.
Traceability: From field to table, we’re meticulous. Our system allows us to trace every clamshell back to its grower and packing day.
Rest assured, when you enjoy our citrus, you’re savoring excellence.
Nestled in the heart of Florida’s citrus-growing region, Grand Island Citrus specializes in producing seedless mandarins. Our fresh fruit varieties include the delightful Tango and Orri mandarins.
