Gulf in Taranto

The warm, sunny and slightly humid climate of the area overlooking the Gulf of Taranto benevolently influences the growth and maturation of the fruit, giving it excellent quality characteristics.Irrigation is practiced almost all year round, and takes place in a drop or spurt, directly but away from the crown, to avoid rotting in the area of the collar of the plant.The harvest is done strictly by hand, in order to prevent the fruits from deteriorating.

The clementine of the Gulf of Taranto is grown exclusively in the municipalities of the Province of Taranto, Terra delle Gravine Joniche, with the leading Palagiano municipality, also called the "City of the Clementines" where every year a week of celebration is dedicated to the Mandarin Festival making it becomethe symbol of the town.The Agro di Palagiano has the peculiarity of having a fertile soil suitable for the product to which it confers an unmistakable flavor and quality.
