The Ippolito Tarocco orange was obtained by micro-grafting and thermotherapy at the University of Catania in 1998. It belongs to the Tarocco family and is characterized by a high concentration of anthocyanins both in the skin and in the pulp, resulting in a very intense red colour.The fruit, very juicy, is seedless and has a good round shape with a medium-thin, orange-colored, often pigmented skin.
The Ippolito Tarocco orange juice is excellent thanks to a good balance between sugars and acids.The blossoming period is spring with single white and very fragrant flowers. The plant is quite tolerant to cold. In a sheltered environment it holds up well to -8°C, -10° C.
Our Ippolito Tarocco oranges are not treated with packaging chemicals, such as wax or anti-rot.

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.
