These blood oranges of the Moro variety work well both for juicing and eating fresh. However, they taste sourer than our blond oranges. Whether the fruit inside is blood red or orange is determined by nature. The blood oranges only acquire their eponymous colour when they have been exposed to low temperatures during their growth. Farmer Christos Saltos cultivates them on around 10 hectares in the Greek district of Aetolia-Acarnania.
How much is that?
13 kilo is equal to 39-78 oranges. The numbers are so variable because the trees grow different sized fruits depending on their location and the weather, and we don't sort the fruits according to size.
Use & preparation
Storage & shelf life
Stored in a cool place, oranges will keep for about four weeks. If you store the fruit on the balcony or on the terrace, protect it from frost with a blanket or in a polystyrene box. Check your oranges for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat these ones first. If you find mould, remove the affected fruit.
