Clementine’s rich green foliage leaves have a lanceolate shape and a glossy, slightly leathery surface. The branches of the clementine are thin and rarely bear thorns. Under optimum growing conditions in the Mediterranean region, clementines can also grow up to 6 metres tall. Potted clementines are usually grown as a half-height or standard tree. The clementine tree grows as an evergreen shrub or small tree with a round, compact crown. Clementines are grown in the Mediterranean region as well as in Africa and Florida There are also large growing areas in some countries in North Africa as well as in Florida. It has been cultivated for a long time in Mediterranean regions. Today, it is generally believed that clementine ( Citrus clementina or Citrus × aurantium) originated as a hybrid by the accidental crossing of mandarin ( Citrus reticulata) and bitter orange ( Citrus × aurantium L.). It is known that its name can be traced back to the French monk Frère Clément. And it is this intensely inventive range of flavors that gives Keefe and Clementine’s a distinct and meaningful identity.Both the geographic origin and the botanical origin of clementine are not clear. One of only 14 in the entire country, this coveted designation means that Keefe is able to trace the exact provenance of each individual ingredient in her expertly crafted, original recipes.
It comes as no surprise then, that she worked tirelessly to have Clementine’s certified as a ‘microcreamery’. It should taste like it did when you were a kid: simple, pure and joyful. The ice cream should be delicious and be a positive force for responsible and ethically good social practices. “I wanted my product to be healthy, natural and good ”, Keefe says, so an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients as well as a strong sense of community involvement were must for her. The result is Clementine’s Naughty & Nice Creamery, a small but growing network of ice cream shops rooted in the very same egalitarian ideals that brought her community together and made those Sundays so special.
