Description
Tarocco Gallo juicing oranges are a selection of fruit of a smaller size than the other Tarocco Gallo oranges from Sicily that you can find on Aranciadoc.
Grown in the countryside of the province of Catania, this variety of red oranges, considered the leading example of pigmented red orange, stands out for its intense, juicy red flesh, completely seedless, and for its thin, fragrant skin. The red pigmentation, which develops between December and January, is due to the presence of anthocyanins, powerful natural antioxidants that give the fruit its colour and its renowned beneficial properties.
Thanks to the lava soil and the strong temperature swings between day and night, Tarocco Gallo oranges develop a unique taste: sweet but balanced, with aromatic notes reminiscent of strawberry. It is precisely this combination of sweetness, colour and juiciness that makes Tarocco Gallo juicing oranges one of the most appreciated varieties among lovers of fresh, natural juice.
