Sicilian Oranges

£6.00

Large Sicilian oranges (Citrus × sinensis), supplied on the stem with leaves still attached — a sign of how recently they were picked and an indicator of the short supply chain between grove and kitchen. The skin is smooth and glossy, the flesh is juicy and full-flavoured, and the balance between sweetness and bright citrus acidity is exactly what Sicilian oranges are known for. These are eating oranges first and foremost, but the aromatic peel is excellent for zesting and the juice is clean and well-balanced.

Sicily's position in the central Mediterranean — long, hot growing seasons, cool nights and the mineral-rich volcanic soils around Mount Etna — produces citrus with a depth of flavour and fragrance that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. These are not the waxed, cold-stored oranges of industrial supply chains; they are picked closer to full ripeness and shipped quickly, which is why the leaves are still fresh and green on arrival. The season runs from autumn through to mid-spring. In the kitchen, Sicilian oranges are the natural choice for an insalata di arance — thinly sliced with shaved fennel, black olives and a good olive oil — but they are equally good segmented into salads, juiced fresh, or used for zesting into cakes, dressings and syrups.

Origin: Sicily, Italy

Ingredients: Fresh Sicilian oranges (Citrus × sinensis) — on the stem with leaves.

Storage: Store at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage. The attached leaves will dry and brown naturally — this does not affect the quality of the fruit.

Order Cut-Off Times & Delivery Date Selection

Orders placed before 2 PM (Monday to Friday) are dispatched the same day, unless you select a future delivery date at checkout.

Our Delivery Service

We use reliable third-party express courier services and high-quality insulated packaging. While our couriers are generally excellent, occasional delays can happen. We pack everything to stay fresh, even if transit takes a little longer.

Time-Sensitive & Event Orders

Can we guarantee delivery on a specific day? Unfortunately not - we rely on third-party couriers and can't control their schedules. All items leave us in perfect condition with good use-by dates, but final timing depends on the courier.

If your order is for a specific event, let us know in the notes section at checkout. We can often dispatch a day earlier to give you the best chance of timely arrival.

DELIVERY Changes After Dispatch

Once dispatched, your package is with the courier and we're unable to redirect it or change delivery details.

Saturday Delivery

Saturday delivery is available, though please note our couriers don't operate phone support at weekends and our office is closed. For event-critical orders, a weekday delivery gives us more flexibility to help if any issues arise.
