TAROCCO FIRE BLOOD ORANGES

Origin: Italy

Season: December - March

These magnificent blood oranges deliver a vibrant citrus experience that captivates both the eye and palate. Distinguished by their striking deep crimson flesh and beautiful exterior blush, these exceptional oranges offer far more than conventional varieties, combining stunning visual appeal with an extraordinarily rich flavour profile.

Blood oranges provide a perfect harmony of sweet and tart notes, creating a complex taste experience that sets them apart from standard oranges. Their unique flavour profile features intense citrus brightness enhanced by subtle berry-like undertones that develop from the same anthocyanin compounds responsible for their dramatic crimson colouring.

These versatile oranges excel in numerous applications, from sophisticated cocktails where their striking colour creates visually stunning drinks, to elegant desserts where their complex flavour adds depth and sophistication. They work equally well as a simple, refreshing snack that brightens any day with their burst of natural sweetness and invigorating tartness.

The beautiful, deep red juice makes exceptional fresh juice, whilst the segments provide stunning garnishes for both sweet and savoury dishes. Their zest adds intense citrus flavour to baking and cooking applications.

These crimson beauties offer exceptional nutritional value alongside their remarkable taste. They're packed with beneficial phytonutrients and powerful antioxidants that provide both flavour and health benefits. Rich in vitamin C for immune support, they also provide valuable dietary fibre and natural sweetness without any artificial additives.
