Kucle_marmalade

Although its origin is somewhat uncertain, Kucle (Citrus margarita × C. clementina) appears to be a hybrid between a Kumquat and the Clementine Mandarin. Like kumquats and most of their hybrids, the tree flowers in early summer, while its fruits persist for a long time with good quality on the tree. Kucle trees have medium vigor and great ornamental value.

The fruits of the Kucle are pear-shaped, somewhat larger than those of its parent, the Oval Kumquat, and retain some of the flavour of the Clementine. Like other kumquats, they are eaten and processed with the skin on, making them ideal for baking and marmalade making.

The Kucle marmalade made with the fruits of our collection has a fresh flavour with a bitter presence. Even a hint of saffron can be identified in it. Its aroma enriches the senses. One spoonful is never enough.
