Tallarico Citrus: a journey through tradition and history in Calabria.

The world of citrus fruits is a fascinating universe of colors, scents, and flavors.

From juicy oranges to tart lemons, the variety is endless. 

The origins of citrus fruits

The story of citrus fruits begins with three (or four, counting the papeda) fundamental progenitors: the citron, the mandarin, and the gigantic fruit known in different regions as jaffa or toronja. 

This common base highlights the surprising diversity of citrus fruits that we enjoy today.
