Origin: grown in Avola, in the heart of Sicily
Our Sicilian Navel Oranges are grown in Avola, in the province of Syracuse, in a region that offers particularly favorable conditions for citrus cultivation.
Here, the Mediterranean climate, the proximity to the sea, and the abundant sunshine allow the fruit to ripen slowly, developing:
- natural sweetness
- balanced fragrance
- firm flesh
- excellent skin quality
The harvest is done by hand, selecting only the fruits that have reached the right level of ripeness. This ensures that the oranges served are fresh, healthy, and picked at the peak of ripeness.
Characteristics of Sicilian Navel Oranges
Navel oranges stand out for a number of characteristics that make them among the most popular choices for everyday consumption:
- light-colored, firm, and juicy flesh
- a sweet and delicate flavor
- almost complete absence of seeds
- ease of peeling
- firm, well-formed fruit
These oranges are designed primarily to be eaten fresh, as they combine convenience with a delightful taste. Their shape makes them perfect for anyone looking for a citrus fruit that’s easy to serve, bring to the table, or enjoy as a snack throughout the day.
