Sicilian blood oranges have thick skin and a tasty, rich, red-colored flesh thanks to the typical local Mediterranean climate and the specific environment of Sicily, Italy. This fruit has a protected geographical indication in Italy that is equal to that of its top cheeses, wines and cured meats. It has attracted the spotlight in China since it first appeared on the market in the country in 2019. These oranges are exported to China by air to keep their flavor. That makes the fruit more expensive in China than in Italy or other European markets.
