Experience the naturally sweet, early-season Malta grown on our own organic farm in South Punjab - a citrus variety renowned for exceptional sweetness, even before peak winters.
Our organic Malta comes straight from our own farm in the South Punjab region, where the soil, sun, and microclimate create ideal conditions for exceptionally sweet citrus. This particular variety is known for developing sweetness earlier than most citruses - a quality that makes our early-harvest batches especially enjoyable even before the peel reaches full orange colour.
Right now, the fruit displays a greenish-yellow peel (typical of early winter harvests), but inside, the pulp is already deeply flavored, juicy, and naturally sweet. As temperatures drop further towards late December and January, the peel will gradually turn bright orange, and the pulp may take on deeper orange tones with subtle red streaks - a natural characteristic of this heritage variety.
Since we grow and harvest these fruits ourselves, we pick them just when they reach their ideal sugar content, measured through TSS / Brix checks and flavor testing. There are no chemicals, no artificial ripening agents, no wax coatings - ever.

Most citrus fruits gain color after they gain sweetness - not before. Indian winters are not cold enough to color the peel early, which is why the tastiest Malta often still looks greenish-yellow at the beginning of the season!
