The Cyprus Mandora has received its name                                from mand (arine) and ora (nge).                              Mandora’s juice is of outstanding colour and                            the flavour is sweet but well balanced with                          acidity and has a strong and rich aroma. The fruit                        is of medium size and slightly flattened at the                    bottom where a small navel is often formed. The               shape, peel texture and thickness as well as external colour and internal quality, are much affected by Cyprus climate which is ideal for Mandora growing. The rind is leathery with reddish orange colour and easy to peel once you remove the upper part with a knife. Despite somewhat tough segment walls, the pulp is tender and extremely juicy, often exceeding 60 per cent by weight of the whole fruit.
