It's a type of mandarin. I don't care for them nearly as much as the larger, very sweet and very easy to peel Satsuma mandarins.

ETA: clementines are a different type of citrus......a cross netween a mandarin and a sweet orange

I love them.

I will try and bring them back. So not what I expected at all

It's possible that they were picked too early.

A Halo as well as a Cutie is an over priced mandarin that is being sold as something special. Halo $1.39 vs orange $0.69 a pound.
