About Tarocco Rosso Orange

Tarocco Rosso puts eating quality first. Tarocco belongs to the most highly regarded of the Sicilian blood oranges; its flesh is fine, juicy and remarkably well balanced. The red colouring comes from anthocyanins and depends heavily on the weather: cool nights during ripening generally bring out a deeper pigmentation. Colour intensity alone does not, however, define its flavour quality.

Our observations at the nursery

At the nursery, we find the fruit of Tarocco Rosso excellent when fully ripe.

Tarocco Rosso Orange or another variety?

Tarocco is generally sought for its finesse and its balance. Moro tends to develop a more intense pigmentation and a different aromatic profile. To go further, see our Blood citrus category.
