Origin: Sicily

Introduction

Add a touch of Sicilian sunshine to your day with the unparalleled taste of Tarocco Lempso Blood Orange. It is believed that the blood orange is a mutation of the orange and its dark flesh colour is due to the high amount of anthocyanins present.

History

Originating in Sicily, Italy, the Tarocco Lempso Blood Orange is a natural hybrid between a sweet orange and a pomelo, resulting in a unique flavour profile and vibrant red hue. 

Regions

The Tarocco Lempso Blood Orange originated in Sicily. Today, this sought-after citrus gem is also cultivated in select regions around the world with similar climates, including Spain, California, and Morocco. 

Flavours & Texture

The Tarocco Lempso Blood Orange is known for its exceptionally sweet and juicy flesh, and a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The texture is succulent and tender, creating a mouthwatering experience with every bite.

Preparation

Simply peel the fruit and enjoy the juicy segments raw.

Nutritional Value

The deep red hue of the pulp is due to anthocyanins – these are antioxidants that not only contribute to the fruit's vibrant colour but also offer potential health benefits.
