Product description

The Sanguinello marks the end of the red orange season. 🍊 Arriving in March, after the Moro and Tarocco have finished, it boasts a bright red flesh and a less sweet, fresher, and slightly tart taste.

It's a late-season variety cultivated in Scordia, with orange skin streaked with red and a slightly elongated shape. Those who find the Tarocco too sweet usually choose this one.

Characteristics

  • Bright red, juicy flesh
  • Less sweet than other red varieties, fresher taste
  • Slightly rough, orange skin with red streaks
  • Oblong shape, medium size

Uses

  • 🥤 Juice: fresh, not too sweet, refreshing
  • 🍊 In wedges: after a meal or as a snack
  • 🥗 In salads: pairs well with raw fish and fresh cheeses
  • 🍰 In baking: jams and sorbets

đź“… Season: from March 1st to April 30th. It is the last red orange of the year.

đźšš We harvest upon order and ship within 24 hours.

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 for three or four weeks.

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

Check the basket once a week and immediately remove any bruised fruit, as it will contaminate the ones next to it. 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.
