Good to know
Tarocco Tardivo Juicing Oranges: description
The Tarocco Tardivo juicing oranges are a prized variety of blood oranges characterised by slower ripening, which takes place between March and April.
This makes the fruit sweeter and fuller of juice, ideal for juice, desserts and traditional Sicilian recipes.
The Tarocco Tardivo variety is grown mainly in the province of Catania, where the volcanic soil of Etna and the temperature swings encourage the red pigmentation of the flesh, rich in natural anthocyanins.
The thin, fragrant skin encloses red-pigmented flesh that combines sweetness, balanced acidity and a delicate fruity note.
Tarocco Tardivo oranges are prized for their hardiness and long-lasting freshness, qualities that allow them to be stored and transported without any loss of quality.
Thanks to their oval shape and medium size, they are perfect as natural juicing oranges or for making Tarocco orange marmalade with an intense colour and a strong fragrance.
