Calamansi, scientifically known as Citrus × microcarpa, is a small, round citrus fruit native to the Philippines and widely used in Filipino cuisine. Its exceptional flavor—combining the sourness of lime with a hint of sweetness—makes it a delicious ingredient in multiple dishes and drinks.
Calamansi and Filipinos
With this huge contribution of Calamansi of the Filipino food culture, Guapito Beer believes that having this fresh tasting citrus fruit on its beer, elevates its position in the global scene as a Filipino beer brand in Europe. Offering a fresh after taste in every sip. ( And of course in recipes for grill, stew or baked, to match the enjoyable experience.)
Beyond the Philippines
Calamansi is mainly exported by countries in Southeast Asia, where it grows well in the tropical climate. The Philippines is the largest producer and exporter, sending fresh calamansi, juices, concentrates, and processed products like jams and syrups to countries like the U.S., Canada, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia. Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia also export calamansi, usually as fresh fruit or in processed forms like juice. Other countries, like India, Sri Lanka, and China, are starting to grow and export it on a smaller scale. Calamansi is popular in international markets because of the growing interest in Asian food and tropical flavors. Since fresh calamansi spoils quickly, it’s often exported as frozen juice or concentrate, making it easier to ship to places with large Southeast Asian communities, such as the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
