Orteat’s Organic Marmalade Bitter Oranges.
Bitter oranges are an extremely valuable fruit, boasting many benefits (digestive and tonic), but above all they are an excellent ingredient used in the preparation of perfumes and essential oils. Not only that, bitter oranges are also an intense and sought-after flavoring additive.
The fruit comes from the melangolo (or bitter orange) plant cultivated since ancient times by the Arabs in Sicily. Currently, Calabria is also an important territory for this fruit, thanks to the mild temperatures of the Mediterranean. Despite this, the cultivation of bitter oranges remains marginal compared to that of sweet oranges.
The Italian organic bitter oranges for sale online at Orteat are grown in the open field following the organic production method: the fruit is born and grows without the use of chemical synthetic fertilizers. Precisely because of an entirely sustainable type of cultivation, our oranges can have defects on the peel that do not compromise their nutritional qualities.
