ORGANIC BLOOD ORANGES
Organic blood oranges are oranges grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants and are a healthier and more sustainable choice than traditional oranges.
Organic blood oranges contain high amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and prevent cardiovascular disease and premature aging. Furthermore, they are a natural source of minerals such as calcium and potassium, which are important for bone and nervous system health.
Organic blood oranges are grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, while conventional oranges can contain traces of these substances. Organic oranges are also grown in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Organic blood oranges should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is advisable not to keep them in the refrigerator to avoid loss of flavor and vitamins.
Absolutely yes! At our organic family company, you can order high quality organic blood oranges and receive them comfortably at your home throughout Europe. We are committed to delivering fresh and delicious fruit directly from our field to your table.
The pigmentation of blood oranges is caused by the presence of anthocyanins, a class of natural pigments which are formed in response to night and day temperature changes during the ripening period of citrus fruits. In particular, during the ripening phase, blood oranges undergo a variation in temperature between day and night which favors the formation of anthocyanins and the consequent pigmentation of the pulp.
The best time to taste organic red oranges is between December and May, when the oranges are ripe and have reached their maximum sweetness and aroma. However, the availability of blood oranges depends on the climatic conditions and the characteristics of the cultivation soil.

OTHER FRUIT
Yes, we ship all of these fresh fruits throughout Europe, guaranteeing the highest quality and freshness thanks to fast shipping and proper storage during transport.
We always try to favor local producers, and therefore most of the avocados, mangoes, almonds and pomegranates we sell come from Sicily and other Italian regions. When it is not possible to find quality local producers, we rely on trusted suppliers from other European countries.
Avocados, mangoes and pomegranates should be stored at room temperature until they are ripe, then placed in the refrigerator. Almonds, on the other hand, should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in a glass jar or in an airtight bag.
The avocados are ready to eat when they give in slightly to the pressure of your fingers. Mangoes, on the other hand, should be soft to the touch but not too mushy. Finally, pomegranates should be chosen based on their weight and the presence of brown spots on the skin, which indicate greater ripening.
Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, fiber and vitamins, while mangoes are a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene and fiber. Almonds are packed with protein, good fats, and antioxidants, while pomegranates are known for their high antioxidant and vitamin content.
