When my husband and I were vacationing in Italy for the first time, we always served red orange juice for breakfast.These wonderful fruits grow on the island of Sicily and are its world-famous calling card. Some varieties can be found in other countries, but the Sanguinella variety is only in Sicily. There are the most suitable conditions for him.

I have not met this variety of oranges in Tver and was pleasantly surprised by their taste and color. There was such a scope for culinary and photo creation! We also sell these oranges now, so as soon as the season comes, I buy them in large quantities. In Russia, red oranges can be found in stores from January to March.
