Plant Description

The Tarocco Scirè Orange is a premium blood orange cultivar from Sicily, celebrated for its unique blend of sweetness and rich, ruby-red flesh. With a bright orange peel, sometimes tinged with red, this medium-sized fruit offers an intense, aromatic flavor with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy notes. The vibrant red pigmentation in the flesh develops due to Sicily’s Mediterranean climate, where cold nights intensify the color. Juicy and nearly seedless, this variety is ideal for fresh eating, juices, and culinary use, providing both exceptional flavor and striking color.
