Origin: Tarocco oranges grown in Avola
Our Sicilian Tarocco Oranges are grown in Avola, in an area where the climate and soil conditions help bring out the best qualities of this variety.
The surrounding area offers:
- significant temperature fluctuations between day and night
- bright sunlight
- fertile land
- ideal Mediterranean climate
It is precisely these temperature fluctuations that contribute to the development of the characteristic red-orange pigmentation, one of the most distinctive features of the Tarocco.
Hand-picking allows us to select only the ripest fruits, at the moment when their flavor, color, and juiciness are at their peak.
Characteristics of Sicilian Tarocco Oranges
The Tarocco are distinguished by very specific organoleptic qualities:
- juicy, fragrant flesh
- intense yet balanced flavor
- natural sweetness with a subtle fresh note
- presence of red hues in the flesh
- thin, fragrant peel
These oranges are popular both as table oranges and for juicing, as they combine a firm texture, plenty of juice, and a complex aroma.
Compared to Valencia, which are more technically suited for juicing, Tarocco oranges have a richer and more distinctive flavor profile. Compared to Navel, they offer a more intense and distinctive flavor profile.
