Tarocco Oval Oranges from Sicily Organic 800g

Between February and March it is possible to appreciate the first fruits whose complete ripening will take place between April and May; the fruits can keep well on the plant even until June.

The thickness of the peel is medium (5-6 mm) with an average papillary surface.

The pulp is rich in juice (always> 51%).

St. Joseph's orange belladonna (also called oval belladonna) is a late ripening cultivar with blond pulp which is a niche production in the Villa San Giuseppe area.

According to some studies, the first certain information on the presence of this cultivar dates back to 1863

The Tarocco Ovale Orange stands out for its perfect balance between sweetness and a pleasant acidic note, which makes it incredibly tasty and refreshing. Its pulp, rich in juice and practically seedless, melts in the mouth, providing an unforgettable sensory experience.

 

 

The secret of the red color: anthocyanins.

The characteristic red pigmentation of the Tarocco Orange is due to the presence of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants beneficial to health. These natural compounds, favored by the typical temperature variations of the Sicilian growing areas, give the orange not only a unique appearance, but also precious health properties.
