Good to know
Description
Tarocco Rosso juicing oranges are the juiciest, most aromatic version of the Sicilian Tarocco, grown in the fertile lava soils of Etna.
The contrast between the warm temperatures of the day and the cool ones of the night favours the formation of anthocyanins, natural pigments responsible for the red colouring of the flesh and the skin.
This variety is known for its high juiciness, its intense sweetness and its characteristic strawberry-like aroma, which make it one of the best juicing oranges on the market.
The thin skin and the seedless flesh also make it perfect for eating fresh.
The AranciaDoc® juicing orange is the result of a careful selection that combines farming tradition, sustainable growing and respect for the seasons, offering a genuine product of superior quality.
