PS: I'm lucky enough to have a copy of the book titled "Givaudan Index Of Flavors".

"But it always comes back to these 22 acres near the rocky flanks of Mt. Rubidoux, which harbor a taster's menu of the more than 1,000 varieties of citrus collected, cultivated and cross-bred for more than a century by UC Riverside."

I'd love to go there and try some.

This was interesting, too.  I was wondering what kind of mandarins I've been eating:

""You probably have eaten it because this is what you find in Cutie and Halo boxes," she explains. "Those are trademark names for what are usually multiple cultivars: clementines before Christmas — usually fina sodea clementines or clemenules — then after Christmas the W Murcott afourer and tango. But mostly tango.""
