Which Type Choose

  • Juicing Oranges (62/70mm): Smaller, but juicier! Because of its size, this type of orange is more suitable for making juice. It’s smaller than the typical table orange and has considerably more juice.
  • Mini (50/58mm): The smallest, but delicious! Despite the slightly smaller size, they maintain the same organoleptic properties. Perfect for salads and creative side dishes.

Tarocco oranges can be distinguished by their thick skin, which may have red streaks, and the flesh, which ranges from orange-yellow to red, depending on ripeness.

According to tradition, the name 'Tarocco' comes from a Sicilian farmer who exclaimed 'tarocco!' to indicate a particularly exceptional fruit. The term later became the official name for this variety.

Tarocco oranges ripen from December onwards, but reach the peak of their flavour and intense red colour between January and March, thanks to the winter temperature range.

Tarocco oranges are rich in vitamin C, fibre, antioxidants such as anthocyanins and minerals, making them a very healthy and nutritious fruit.

The flesh of the Tarocco at the beginning of the season tends to be blond. The typical red pigmentation appears in January, due to the pronounced temperature variations.

Tarocco oranges have a well-balanced, sweet and slightly acidic taste, with a unique aroma that makes them appreciated both for fresh consumption and for use in cooking.

Tarocco oranges are mainly grown in Sicily, particularly in the provinces of Catania and Siracusa, where the climate favours the development of their colour and flavour.
