Description
Our blood orange rind comes from the sun-drenched groves of Sicily, where the tree is native. The island’s unique microclimate, with its fertile volcanic soil and temperate coastal breezes, creates the perfect conditions for these distinctive fruits to grow.
Blood oranges get their characteristic dark flesh colour from anthocyanins, a pigment which only develops when temperatures are low at night, as during the Mediterranean autumn and winter. Its flavour, and indeed its scent, is unique compared to other oranges, being distinctly berry-like in addition to other classic citrus notes.
