Product description

The Moro is the most intense of our blood oranges. 🍊 The pulp is a deep, almost wine-like red, and the taste is sweet with a bitter hint that is recognizable at first bite.

It originates in Scordia, eastern Sicily. During the day, there's sun, at night, the temperature drops, and it's precisely those cold hours that form the anthocyanins, the pigments that give the pulp its color. This variety appeared nearby, in the territory of Lentini, in the 19th century, and has never left these lands since.

How it's made

  • Deep red pulp, juicy with few seeds
  • Sweet taste, with a slightly bitter note
  • Medium-thick peel, with natural red hues
  • Medium-large size, high yield for juicing

How to use it

  • 🥤 Juice: drink immediately after preparation, within half an hour
  • 🥗 In salads: sliced, with fennel, black olives, and extra virgin olive oil
  • 🍰 In pastry: tarts, jams, jellies
  • 🍽️ In cooking: sauces for white meats and fish

📅 Season: from December 15th to February 15th. Outside these weeks, the Moro is not available, and we do not substitute it with another variety.

🚚 We harvest to order and ship within 24 hours, so the fruit arrives as fresh as it was picked from the tree.

Product storage

Store oranges in a cool, dry, and airy place, away from heat sources and direct light. Keep them in one or two layers, in a wide basket, without stacking them: the weight bruises the fruits underneath, and that's where mold starts. This way, they will last three or four weeks.

In the refrigerator, in the fruit drawer, they last up to two weeks. Take them out an hour before eating them, as they don't taste as good when cold.

Check the basket once a week and immediately remove any bruised fruit, as it will contaminate the others. Wash the fruit before consuming it. If you want to use the peel in cooking, first check that the product has not been treated after harvesting.
