Which Type Choose
- Table Oranges (75/85mm): It’s all pulp! This type of fruit is more suitable as a table orange, given its size, which is typically larger than oranges used to make juice.
- Juicing Oranges (62/70mm): Smaller, but juicier! Because of its size, this type of orange is more suitable for making juice. It’s smaller than the typical table orange and has considerably more juice.
- Mini (50/58mm): The smallest, but delicious! Despite the slightly smaller size, they maintain the same organoleptic properties. Perfect for salads and creative side dishes.

Bitter oranges are a variety of citrus fruit characterised by a sour and bitter taste, mainly used for the preparation of jams, liqueurs and confectionery products.
Bitter oranges ripen in winter, from December to March, reaching their maximum flavour between January and February.
Bitter oranges are commonly used to prepare jams, candied peel, liqueurs such as arancello and in savoury or sweet recipes due to their intense and aromatic flavour.
Bitter oranges are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fibre, which can help improve digestion, strengthen the immune system and promote heart health.
Bitter oranges are mainly grown in Sicily, where the ideal climate allows for high quality fruit, perfect for culinary and medicinal uses.
Bitter oranges have a thick, wrinkled, deep orange skin and a denser, less juicy pulp than sweet oranges. Their bitter flavour makes them easily distinguishable.
Bitter oranges can be stored in a cool, dry place for about 2 weeks. In the refrigerator, they can last up to a month, keeping their properties intact.
Bitter oranges are also used in herbal medicine for their digestive and tonic properties. Bitter orange peel extract is commonly used in herbal teas and supplements to improve digestion.
