Sanguinello or 'blood oranges' are one of the only varieties grown specifically in volcanic soil, with coastal breezes. They have the highest vitamin C content in the world due to the fertile soils of Mount Etna!

Orange is vital, full of energy, of warmth and happiness. This orange is more red, orange-red like the walls of the frescoes in Pompeii - a colour transformed from yellow to red in an alchemic reaction.
