Blood oranges are a fantastic late winter treat and not one that you’ll always be able to find in the supermarkets. We only get our blood oranges  from the best producers in Sicily, an area renowned for its quality oranges. They taste amazing – full of juice and sweetness, and are even cheaper than the supermarket alternatives…

Taste: Sweet and juicy with a slightly bitter taste, less acidic than other orange varieties. The flavour is just beautiful – sweet and with a hint of raspberries. No wonder they are so popular for juicing, creating cocktails, marmalades and even ice cream.

Region: Our blood oranges are from Sicily, arguably the best orange producing region in the world. These Moro variety are simply outstanding, grown on the rich soil surrounding Mount Etna.

Quality: We only buy the absolute finest grade oranges available in the market.

Aspect: Our blood oranges are fairly small and with a pitted reddish skin. The flesh is an amazingly rich colour and its distinctively dark tones hide intense aromas.

Cost: We always let you know the price per kg so you can easily compare our prices. These superb blood oranges work out cheaper per kilo than so called “premium” varieties found in the supermarket:

Natoora “Blood Oranges” £2.75/kg, £0.52 each
Ocado/Waitrose “Blush Oranges“ £2.85/kg
Sainsbury’s “Blood Oranges, Taste the difference” £0.62 each
