Moro Blood Oranges, 500g

Moro Blood Oranges 500g are 500g of Moro blood oranges – the darkest and most intensely coloured of all blood orange varieties, grown in the volcanic soils of Sicily. Moro blood oranges have an almost inky deep crimson flesh and juice. As a result, they have a more pronounced berry-like flavour than other varieties, with notes of raspberry and dark cherry. Furthermore, the Moro’s high anthocyanin content gives it its extraordinary colour and a slightly more complex edge. In particular, Moro blood orange juice is the most dramatically coloured and visually striking of all citrus juices.

About Moro Blood Oranges 500g

We source our fruit from specialist growers and importers across Britain, Europe and beyond. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, ripeness and provenance. As a result, the fruit we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise varieties with genuine character over commodity produce bred purely for shelf life and appearance. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or resilience in transit. However, they require more careful handling and a shorter supply chain. In particular, the finest fruit is always seasonal – it arrives at its peak and disappears just as quickly. Additionally, we work only with suppliers who understand this. A short supply chain from orchard or grove to your door makes all the difference. That is why Moro Blood Oranges 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Moro Blood Oranges 500g From Us

Cooking and eating with genuinely fine fruit transforms everyday preparations. In contrast to commodity fruit, these varieties carry flavour, aroma and character that rewards both simple eating and careful cooking. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, quality fruit always speaks for itself. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you receive fruit at its prime. However, even the finest fruit needs a little attention. In particular, most fruit is best stored at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated only once it reaches the right stage. Moreover, cold storage suppresses both aroma and flavour. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you buy matters. That is why we choose these fruits so carefully.

How to Use Moro Blood Oranges 500g

To get the very best from Moro Blood Oranges 500g:

• Press immediately before serving for the most striking deep red juice – the colour fades on exposure to air.
• Slice and use in a salad with fennel, rocket and shaved Pecorino for a classic Sicilian winter combination.
• Furthermore, Moro blood oranges make an outstanding curd, sorbet or ice cream where the colour is exceptional.
• Additionally, the zest and juice work beautifully in a vinaigrette for bitter leaves like radicchio and endive.

Perfect Pairings

Moro Blood Oranges 500g pairs beautifully with:

• Fennel, radicchio or bitter chicory leaves to complement the berry-like flavour
• Dark chocolate, pistachio or almond in a dessert preparation
• A chilled Nerello Mascalese rose or a glass of Sicilian sparkling wine
• Good olive oil, sea salt and fresh mint for the simplest Sicilian preparation

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place or at the bottom of the fridge. Citrus keeps well for one to two weeks when stored correctly. Furthermore, the zest and juice can both be frozen for future use. However, always zest before juicing and use unwaxed fruit for zesting. Delivered fresh and ready to use.

However you enjoy it, Moro Blood Oranges 500g brings a depth of flavour and quality that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, the finest seasonal fruit is one of the great pleasures of the table.
