Origin and Raw Materials: The Corsican Clementine benefits from a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) ensuring harvest at peak ripeness on the Plaine Orientale terroir. This thin-skinned fruit, harvested with its green leaves, features juicy flesh with a balanced acidity and natural sweetness. The orchards selected provide fruits grown without post-harvest chemical treatments.

Producer: Located in the heart of Corsica, Charles Antona produces fruit preserves and island specialties rooted in traditional family recipes. The artisan company has mastered local citrus processing for decades through partnerships with regional growers dedicated to preserving native fruit varieties.

Production Process: Whole clementines are sliced and slowly simmered in traditional copper cauldrons for even heat distribution. Gentle cooking at controlled temperatures preserves the essential oils in the peel and the vibrant aromatic freshness of the pulp. No artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings are added.

Tasting Notes: The jam presents a bright orange hue flecked with fine pieces of candied peel. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of freshly squeezed citrus with delicate floral undertones. On the palate, the texture balances smooth jelly with firm peel, delivering a persistent fruit flavor rounded by a refined bitter finish.

Serving Advice & Aging Potential: Perfect for breakfast on country bread, brioche, or paired with Corsican sheep and goat milk cheeses (such as fresh Brocciu). Store in a cool, dry place away from light before opening. Once opened, keep refrigerated at 4 degrees Celsius and consume within 21 days.
