Detailed Description

Bitter oranges, or Seville oranges, are a cornerstone of Sicilian confectionery. Unlike sweet varieties, these fruits offer a sharp, complex flavor that transforms beautifully when cooked with sugar. The peel is thick and bumpy, containing the aromatic oils needed for high-quality liqueurs.

Our farm in Solarino follows natural cycles to bring you fruit that hasn't been waxed or chemically treated. This means you can use every part of the orange safely. From the zest to the juice, these oranges provide the authentic bitter-sweet balance found in traditional European preserves.

Use Cases

• Boil with sugar and water to create the perfect English-style marmalade.
• Infuse the peel in alcohol for homemade triple sec or orange bitters.
• Use the zest in savory sauces for duck or roasted meats.

Product Care

Since these oranges are untreated, they should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area. For longer preservation, keep them in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Use them within 10-14 days to enjoy their full aromatic potency.
