Exotic citrus fruits from Morocco: organic and distinctive

Terracitrus from Morocco is supplying a strong range of organic exotic citrus fruits this season. Since 2015, the Tazi family has been growing completely organically according to SEDEX/SMETA standards on 82 hectares near the Sebou River near Fez. The result: distinctive citrus fruits with lots of aroma, colour and culinary possibilities.

Generations of craftsmanship

The family has been working at this cultivation site since 1950, which, thanks to the fertile soil and local climate, has grown into a source of premium citrus fruits. Under the leadership of Younes and Rachida – together with the team of Abderahim and Hakima – a wide, flavourful range has been created that perfectly matches the growing demand for special citrus varieties.

 

Culinary citrus varieties

Several exotic varieties stand out in the range. Citrus Caviar surprises with crunchy citrus pearls that give dishes and drinks a luxurious finish. Yuzu is known for its fresh, aromatic scent and is a favourite in dressings, desserts and modern mixology.  Combawa Lime offers an intensely fragrant peel that is indispensable in Asian cuisines. Kumquat Meiwa stands out for its mild, sweet-aromatic flavour and fully edible peel, making it versatile in both culinary preparations and premium presentations.

Those looking for distinctive citrus varieties can also count on specials such as Tiger Lemon, Bergamot, Tangelolo and Kumquat Nagami, each with its own aroma and culinary uses.

 

Premium selection for November and December 

Terracitrus delivers an organic, flavourful package that perfectly meets the demand for premium citrus during the culinary months of November and December. For planning or options, please contact your account manager – we are happy to assist.

Limes

Moroccan limes provide breathing space in a tight organic lime market

Demand for organic fruit continues to grow, and organic limes are no exception. Their popularity is being driven partly by increasing demand for cocktails, mocktails and homemade lemonades, as well as their wider use in salads, curries and other dishes. Consumers are also increasingly choosing citrus grown without synthetic pesticides and without post-harvest fungicide treatment.

Kivinaki

Kivinaki ready for the new Organic Raingrown Oranges season

Ahead of the new organic orange season, our sourcing team visited Kivinaki in Peru. Over the past four years, we have built a successful export programme with this growers’ co-operative. During the visit, we worked together to prepare for the coming months.

Pineapple

Healthy soil makes organic pineapples more resilient

In Costa Rica, too, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Heavy rainfall, in particular, is making organic pineapple cultivation more challenging and requires growers to be adaptable.
