Sicilian Blood Orange

Sicilian blood orange, known for its distinctive crimson color, is a variety of orange that boasts a particularly intense citrus scent marked by a rich, tart, and juicy aroma which is more intense and concentrated than regular oranges. Originating from the fertile volcanic soils of Sicily, these oranges develop their unique flavor and aromatic profile due to the region's warm climate and ample sunshine.

The scent profile of Sicilian blood orange is characterized by a vibrant and robust citrus bouquet, combining elements of red fruit notes with the traditional zest of orange. This leads to a complex aroma where the initial burst of fresh, sweet orange is followed by subtler hints of raspberry and grapefruit. This citrusy fragrance is occasionally accented with floral and spicy notes, making it highly favored in perfumery and flavoring. The overall effect is both refreshing and uplifting, capturing the essence of Sicilian orchards.
