You see the color immediately. You understand the flavor with the first cut.

Our blood oranges grow in the same volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Etna, but they have a character all their own: flesh ranging from deep red to purplish, with a bolder flavor, almost like berries, that sets them apart from any other orange you have ever tasted. It is no coincidence that the temperature swings between day and night here in Palagonia are precisely what create this uniquely distinctive pigmentation.

The red ones also arrive with the leaf attached, in every size. To us, it is a sign of respect for the fruit: it is picked when it is ready, not when it is convenient.

Perfect for:

  • Intensely flavored juices, with a color that looks almost like red wine
  • Fresh consumption for those seeking a more intense, less predictable taste experience

The same land, the same family, the same care for three generations. Only the character is different—entirely waiting to be discovered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some oranges redder than others?

The red pigmentation (anthocyanins) depends on the temperature range between day and night caused by the nearby Mount Etna. Colder nights mean redder, tastier oranges!

Are they good for juicing?

Absolutely. Our blood oranges from Palagonia have a very high juice yield. They are sweet, refreshing, and perfect for breakfast, but also great for eating fresh.

Is the peel treated? Can I use it for cooking?

The peel is 100% edible. We do not use any shining waxes or post-harvest chemical treatments. You can safely use the zest for baking, candied peels, or marmalade.

How long do they last and how should I store them?

Since they are never kept in cold storage, they arrive extremely fresh. Take them out of the box and keep them in a cool, ventilated place or in the fridge. They will last for weeks.

Are they harvested right before shipping?

Yes, we pick your oranges from the tree only after receiving your order. In 48/72 hours they travel from our farm in Sicily directly to your table.
