Dalandan: The Underrated Orange of the Philippines

Meet dalandan — a native citrus with a mellow sweetness that pairs beautifully with calamansi in juices, desserts, and beverages.

If calamansi is the bright spark of Philippine citrus, dalandan is its smooth, sunny counterpart. This native orange variety is beloved locally but still underused in global beverage menus.

Flavor profile

Dalandan offers a gentler acidity than calamansi, with floral notes and a natural sweetness that shines in ready-to-drink formats and dessert sauces.

Perfect pairings

Many of our blends combine calamansi and dalandan to balance tartness with body. The result is a juice that feels complete — not overly sharp, not cloyingly sweet.

Menu applications

Use dalandan concentrate in: - House sodas and sparkling drinks - Pastry glazes and cake syrups - Smoothie bases with tropical fruit - Kids' menu options (milder than pure calamansi)

For distributors

Dalandan gives your catalog a distinct Philippine story alongside calamansi. Stocking both creates upsell opportunities and seasonal bundle promotions.
