Product description

The Tarocco is the red orange that is eaten in segments. 🍊 Red-streaked pulp, thin skin that peels off easily by hand, full flavor and low acidity: it is the variety that ends up on the table in Sicily at the end of a meal.

It grows in Scordia, on volcanic soils. The cold winter nights give it its color, and the soil does the rest. Cultivation in these parts began in the early 1900s, between Catania and Syracuse, and the Tarocco has remained the island's best-selling orange.

How it's made

  • Red-streaked pulp, lighter than Moro
  • Thin skin, easy to peel by hand
  • Sweet and balanced taste, low acidity
  • Virtually seedless

How to use it

  • 🍊 In segments: its natural use, at the end of a meal or as a snack
  • 🥤 Juice: sweet, with low acidity
  • 🥗 In salads: with fennel, black olives, and red onion
  • 🍰 In pastries: tarts and jellies

📅 Season: from December 10th to April 30th, the longest among our blood oranges.

⚖️ Three sizes: table 4/6, mixed 8/9, for juice 10. Choose the size in the tab above.

🚚 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 overlapping them: the weight bruises the fruit 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 consuming them, because 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.
