More about mandarins

A consumer favourite

Mandarins combine convenience and flavour like no other citrus fruit. Their small size, seedless profile, and easy peel make them especially popular among families and children.

Key varieties

Hillfresh focuses on late-season premium varieties such as Orri, Nadorcott, and Tangold. These offer excellent shelf life, high sugar content, and a strong market reputation.

Smart sourcing strategy

We source mandarins from Spain and Israel, allowing us to serve key markets with minimal logistical risk. Our strategy includes pre-planned transitions and backup sourcing to avoid disruptions.

Handling and presentation

Mandarins are sensitive to humidity and decay. We work with expert packers to deliver clean, uniform fruit in retail-ready packaging — from flowpacks to open trays.
