The Ortanique tangerine – also known as Ortanik – is an exceptional citrus fruit that impresses with its origin, taste, and versatility. It is only available in March and April.
The Ortanique is characterized by its medium to large, slightly flattened shape with a bright yellow-orange, smooth peel. The peel of this juicing tangerine is thin and adheres to the pulp, making it difficult to peel. Therefore, the Ortanik is sold as a juicing tangerine. Additionally, this tangerine has quite a few seeds, which is not very enjoyable when eating. The pulp is very juicy and offers a balanced ratio of sweetness and acidity, providing an intense taste experience. Which is also typical for a tangerine.
