More about pomelo
A standout in the citrus shelf
Pomelo is the largest citrus fruit, known for its thick peel and pale, juicy segments. Its flavour is milder than grapefruit, with a pleasantly dry finish and firm bite that works well in salads and fresh snacking.
Origins and availability
Hillfresh imports pomelo primarily from China, where the fruit is harvested between October and February. The region’s climate allows for large fruit development and consistent internal quality.
Varieties and formats
We focus on white-flesh pomelo varieties, especially suited for export due to their longer shelf life. Fruit is packed in both nets and gift-box formats depending on customer preference.
Challenges and expertise
Pomelo requires extra care during shipping to avoid dehydration or internal dryness. At Hillfresh, we ensure proper maturation, controlled cooling, and protective packaging from orchard to DC.
