A treasure trove of heady scents and a joyous experience for the palate, it is the crown jewel of the island's citrus production: the Sicilian Tarocco!
Flavour and energy wrapped in a fruit without equal
A true wonder of nature, it has been introduced everywhere in the world in a vain attempt to recreate the aromas and colours of the Etnean varieties: the real Tarocco is only created here in Sicily.
The frost that lights
its red pulp
Only Etna’s climate and soil have the right conditions to grow 3moretti Tarocco oranges: on the sunny slopes, the coolness of the evening generates the temperature differences between day and night, and like a spark, the valuable anthocyanin ignites its fleshy pulp with carmine red.
A living, mercurial fruit
Pigmentation and organoleptic properties change according to climate and territory:
the same plant, in different places and climates, will produce fruit of different tastes and colours.
