Season and Period of the Tarot Orange

The season for Tarocco oranges, a winter treasure, offers an explosion of unique colors and flavors. They ripen from December to April, reaching peak sweetness during the cold Sicilian nights. The skin is tinged red and purple by cold-activated anthocyanins. In December, the flesh is lightly streaked with red, while in January-February it reaches a deep red color like Etna's lava. With a 48-hour ripening time, their juicy flesh becomes the star of unforgettable culinary experiences. Enjoy them fresh or squeezed, and enrich your days with the benefits of vitamins and antioxidants. Discover different varieties like Tarocco Gallo online in our Sicilian citrus shop.
