Fontestad Orri mandarin

Fontestad is a prominent Spanish citrus company founded in 1984 by Vicente Fontestad Planells. Based in Museros, Valencia, the company has evolved from a small market stall in the 1950s into a major international distributor with over 900 hectares of its own orchards across the Valencian Community, Andalusia, and Murcia.

The 'Orri' variety itself is a premium, late-season hybrid mandarin developed in Israel by the Agricultural Research Organization (Volcani Center). While the biological origin of the variety is Israeli, the specific product shown is grown and packaged by Fontestad in Spain. Fontestad manages the entire supply chain from cultivation to distribution, ensuring high quality for this seedless, easy-to-peel fruit that is highly valued for its sweetness and balanced acidity. The brand remains a family-owned business, currently led by the Fontestad family.
