Mandarin
Mandarin is a distinguished fruit belonging to the citrus family that flourishes in the temperate Mediterranean basin. Boasting vibrant yellow, orange, and red tones, mandarins are delightfully juicy, tender, and deeply aromatic.
Featuring a softer texture and thinner skin compared to oranges, mandarins peel effortlessly by hand for wholesome fresh snacking, and can also be pressed into refreshing, vitamin-rich citrus juice. In Turkey, they are cultivated to superior quality across the fertile coastal plains of the Aegean and Mediterranean.
Meypal delivers a comprehensive portfolio of premier mandarin varieties spanning from early-season harvests to late-ripening selections, meeting rigorous international hygiene and freshness benchmarks. Discover our cultivated varieties in detail below.
