Description
AranciaDoc® Sicilian Dente di Cavallo Pomegranate is one of the island’s most prized pomegranate varieties, a symbol of vitality and wellbeing. Carefully grown in Sicily’s fertile soil, it grows in a natural environment where the Mediterranean climate and intense sunshine encourage a slow, sugary ripening.
The thick, resistant skin protects bright pink seeds with juicy flesh and a flavour balanced between sweet and tangy. It is ideal to enjoy fresh or to use in recipes with pomegranate, such as risottos, salads, jams or fresh juices.
Thanks to integrated pest management cultivation, without post-harvest treatments, it keeps all its nutritional properties and the authentic aroma of Sicilian fruit intact.
The harvest takes place between October and February, the period when the fruits reach full ripeness.
We recommend storing in a cool, dry place.
We guarantee a delivery service with express courier for our pomegranates, directly from the producer to your table.
