The Gallo Tarocco orange is one of the most refined and appreciated varieties among all Tarocco oranges. Introduced in Italy in the 17th century, after being imported from China by a Jesuit monk, today it is one of the most cultivated in the Catania Plain. It is characterized by its high juiciness, strawberry-like aroma, low acidity level, and seedless pulp.
The skin is thin and smooth, of medium or thin thickness, orange-yellow in colour and reddened over more than half of the surface. Its pigmentation varies depending on the degree of ripeness of the fruit, but it is generally a deep red.
Our Gallo Tarocco oranges are not treated with packaging chemicals, such as wax or anti-rot.
Any doubts about the quantity to order? Nutritionists suggest a daily consumption of 2-3 oranges per adult, about 5 kgs per week. For a glass of orange juice (250 ml), about 700 grams are needed.

Since when the fruits are harvested to the moment that they are shipped it takes up to 24 hours. If, for example, you order on Monday, we deliver to your home on Wednesday, to avoid leaving citrus fruits in the refrigerating rooms and to really offer you fresh fruits. Outside of Italy, delivery time can vary between 3 and 5 working days, depending on the country.
We pick and select our citrus fruits straight from our Melilli farm (in the province of Syracuse), in order to always offer you fresh products.
Both our PGI blood oranges and our mandarins are certified and fertilized with organic nitrogen and Organic Farming authorized plant protection products.
Our oranges are not treated, so don’t let months pass before eating them!
We recommend you to keep the oranges in a cool place (the fridge is fine, but the terrace is better) not stacking them one on top of the other so as not to damage them.
