How to Pick
Select blood oranges with deep red or maroon-colored flesh, as this indicates a high level of antioxidants and a sweet, tangy flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a firm, smooth skin, as these are signs of juiciness and freshness.
Avoid any oranges with soft spots or blemishes, as they may be overripe or spoiled. Additionally, consider the fragrance – a sweet, citrusy scent is a good indicator of a flavorful and ripe blood orange.
How to Store
Blood oranges should be stored in a cool, dry place such as a pantry or fruit bowl. They can also be stored in the refrigerator if you prefer them cold. Keep them away from direct sunlight to maintain their freshness and flavor. Avoid storing them in a plastic bag as it can trap moisture and cause them to spoil faster. Enjoy within a week for the best taste and quality.
Where it’s Sourced
Our blood oranges are grown in the sun-drenched orchards of Riverland, South Australia, where the warm days and cool nights create the perfect conditions for their distinctively rich and sweet flavor.
