Melissa's Ojai Pixie Tangerines
Just as the prime harvest time for domestic citrus starts to wind down, Melissa's is bringing back a burst of sunshine with the arrival of their beloved Ojai Pixie Tangerines. Savor the tasty, delicate treat of tree-ripened fruit with sweet flavor and juice. This seedless, low-acid variety is the result of open pollination of Kincy, King and Dancy mandarins.
Ojai Pixies are a unique California gem, hailing from the picturesque Ojai Valley. Grown by a collective of dedicated family farms, these late-season wonders benefit from the valley's unique east-west orientation, soaking up sunshine all day long. This, according to devoted fans, translates to a taste that truly "tastes like sunshine."
The Ojai Pixie growers are also bee friendly; they don't spray or put up nets to exclude bees.
For the juiciest, sweetest fruit, look for Ojai Pixie Tangerines with a sweet, clean fragrance. Store at cool room temperatures for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
