A fruit from the Orient Originally from China, the mandarin orange conquered Europe in the 19th century, bringing with it its sweetness and freshness. Its name is said to evoke the color of the clothes of the mandarins, high officials of the Chinese Empire. Today it is well established in the Mediterranean regions, particularly in Corsica, Spain and Italy. HAS Not to be confused... Often confused with the clementine, the mandarin is actually its "relative": the clementine is a hybrid between a mandarin and a sweet orange. Mandarin oranges generally contain more seeds, a more intense aroma and a more pronounced acidity than their newer cousins.
