Ortanique Orange
This orange is one of a kind in many ways; they are incredibly sweet and full of juice. You can section them, you can squeeze or slice them-any way you cut them, they will be delicious. Ortaniques are slightly flattened and look a bit like a big tangerine with a bumpy but tight-fitting skin.
The Ortaniques is a natural mutant, a cross between a Valencia orange and a tangerine. According to Jamaican folklore, it developed with the help of a pair of lovebirds-one living in an orange tree, the other in a tangerine tree. Ortaniques have a short one-month-season MARCH.
Unbelievably Sweet
High in Vitamin C
