The beginning of the year 2023 also marks the start of the Calinda season. The strawberry can be found on the shelves until early June. Special Fruit decided to increase production for the seventh time in a row. "Simply because the sweet strawberry is winning over more and more customers. So this spring we can look forward to volumes approaching 6 million kilos."
"Calinda also owes its quality and flavour to the region where it is grown. The plants grow in excellent conditions in 3 different regions in Huelva, Spain, to spread cultivation risks," said the Special Fruit team.
The Doñana region of Almonte - El Rocío.
Lucena-Moguer-Palos.
The west coast of Cartaya - Lepe.
The annual survey by Carmen Soria Navarro of IFAPA shows that Calinda, compared to other Huelva varieties, emerges as the healthiest variety. "It contains the highest amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants. So the strawberry not only possesses a deep red iconic shape, a sweet, juicy flavour, but also turns out to be super healthy. Ideal for the winter months."
