Celebrate Taroccos

Make the most of these special oranges while they're in season. Why? Because they're 'bloody' lovely.

Celebrate Taroccos

While the standard orange is available all year round, spring sees the appearance of something a bit special.
 
Blood oranges offer a unique taste and bring many health benefits. The Tarocco variety, grown on volcanic Sicilian soil, is the orange of choice for discerning Italians and boasts more vitamin C than any other orange. Taroccos are packed full of antioxidants called anthocyanins (red pigments that may help reduce various health risks) as well as 15% of your daily potassium intake and around a quarter of your daily fibre needs – all in a single piece of fruit.

What really marks the Tarocco out, however, is its exceptional sweetness and flavour, making it one of the very best ways to keep the doctor away.
