- Mandarina orange (clementine) marmalade naturally sweet
- 40% fruit
- Practically home-made by Juan Carlos García
There is nothing quite like the aroma of ripe tangerines, or a box of sweet clementinas. We used to drive along the Oceanside highway by Castellón de la Plana north of Valencia and pick up a bag of these juicy beauties from a roadside vendor. They tasted so good; we finished them before our trip was over. ¡Que rico! Now think of oranges such as those combined in a marmalade virtually home made by Juan Carlos Garcia in the small Valencian village of Jalance. All he adds is a little cane sugar, fruit pectin and Vitamin C to preserve it.
This Mermelda de Mandarina is one of Jalencina preserves that is rated as the best in Spain according to the respected gourmet guide: "Lo mejor de la gastronomía española".
Their comments:
This marmalade offers immense complexity, with magically balanced sweet, acidic and bitter flavors that follow each other playfully and charmingly on the palate. The fruit always predominates, immaculate and clearly fitting into its natural starring role. The presence of the peel, sliced into a small julienne, adds flavor and texture to complement the natural gelatinousness. Pure, refreshing, nuanced…it is difficult to ask for more. (close)
