Our Gold Tart tangerine is surely our favorite citrus variety on our farm. For more than 15 years we have been on a quest to grow citrus far outside of its warm range here at our Sumter farm. We have been so impressed with Gold Tart. It withstands temperatures down to 4°F! Unlike most tangerines, Gold Tart does not ripen to a true orange color, but rather a beautiful sunset gold! The rind is an easy peeling true zipper-peel that is super soft, floral and tasty even fresh, so certainly can be an excellent choice for zest, candying, and more. The pale orange to yellow flesh is segmented like mandarins and packed with juicy sweet tartness, light acidity, and spritely essence. Sweet enough to enjoy eating out of hand, but unique from the over-bred super sweet oranges common on the market these days. Be prepared to for your tastebuds to be dazzled!
