The Maltese

The Maltese Orange, often referred to as the "queen of oranges", is in the spotlight on this stamp. Recognized worldwide for its unique flavor, half-sweet, half-acid, and its slightly red-pigmented flesh, it is the flagship of Tunisian agriculture. The illustration underlines the nobility of this fruit native to Cap Bon, whose fame goes beyond borders. Through this broadcast, Tunisia affirms its identity as an exceptional producing country, linking the quality of its terroir to a centuries-old tradition of citrus cultivation inherited from Andalusian gardens.
