Japanese Kitsuki Tarokko Blood Orange Gift Box (2.5kg)

$88.00

Blood orange is a variety widely grown in the gastronomic countries of Italy and the Mediterranean Sea. As the name of “Blood” suggests, it is characterized by dark red flesh and can be roughly divided into two types (Tarokko and Moro). 

Located in Kitsuki City, northeastern Kyushu, on the Kunisaki Peninsula, blood oranges are cultivated in a relatively warm and clean air with a Setouchi climate. They are fully ripened, harvested, and then shipped after a month to enhance the sweetness. Hence the Taro species, which are mainly made in Japan, have the strongest sweetness among blood oranges. Especially when it comes to juice, it is extremely delicious, and is popular all over the world.
