The Nadorcott cultivar yields the beautiful soft citrus fruit that we know as ClemenGold. Nadorcott has its origins in the warm North African country of Morocco, where the first tiny Murcott seedlings were planted in 1964 near the village of Afourer. Growers soon explored the commercial potential of Murcott trees that bear lovely reddish orange but seeded fruit. It took many long years to develop the low seeded Nadorcott variety, and it only happened when they planted Murcott in ideal conditions.
Citrogold (Pty) Ltd. in South Africa holds the plant rights to Nadorcott in the Southern Hemisphere. Only Citrogold can legally grant licenses to growers in South Africa, Australia, Argentina and Uruguay. The company also controls production of the cultivar through contracts with growers. All import and export licenses are handled from South Africa by a growers’ club.
Deliciously sweet and fragrant, ClemenGold is loved for its special taste, quality and convenience. And to keep it that way, the ClemenGold company selects only the finest Nadorcott fruit. Fruit that finally meets the required strict criteria, earns the right to wear (use) the ClemenGold label.
