Description

Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g are 500g of Tarocco blood oranges – the finest variety of blood orange, grown in the volcanic soils around Mount Etna in Sicily. Tarocco is an IGP-protected variety and the sweetest of all blood oranges. As a result, they have a complex flavour with notes of raspberry, pomegranate and orange working together. Furthermore, the deep red flesh develops its colour naturally from the cold Sicilian nights. In particular, Tarocco has a lower acidity than other blood orange varieties, making it outstanding for eating fresh.

About Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g

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

  • Peel and eat fresh – Tarocco blood oranges are sweet enough to need no sugar or dressing.
  • Slice and arrange on a plate with good olive oil, sea salt and fresh mint for a classic Sicilian salad.
  • Furthermore, Tarocco blood oranges make a spectacular juice – press immediately before serving for the finest colour and flavour.
  • Additionally, segment and use in a salad with fennel, radicchio and aged pecorino for a classic winter combination.

Perfect Pairings

Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g pairs beautifully with:

  • Good olive oil, sea salt and fresh mint for the simplest Sicilian preparation
  • Fennel, radicchio or bitter leaves to balance the natural sweetness
  • A chilled Etna Bianco, Nerello Mascalese rose or a glass of Prosecco
  • Dark chocolate, almond or pistachio in a dessert setting

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Tarocco Blood Oranges 500g brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
