Fresh, scented and tasty: our Organic Tarocco Oranges with their sweet-sour taste are perfect to be eaten in wedges or freshly squeezed. 

The slightly red nuances of their peel, make these oranges very peculiar. The red shades are only visible when they reach full ripeness and it is caused by the presence of some particular pigments, the anthocyanins, and by carotinoids as well. This pigmentation is also due to some environmental factors, such as climate: indeed, the fruit's red color becomes more intense with low temperatures and temperature range. That's why the Ionian coastal side of Calabria, close to the Aspromonte, and eastern Sicily, the area where the Etna is, are particularly suited for the production of Tarocco Oranges.
