Botanical and
Origin Details
The orange tree (Citrus sinensis, specifically the ‘Sanguinelli’ variety) is a blood orange cultivar that thrives in Mediterranean climates. It is cultivated primarily in southern and eastern Spain, especially in the Valencian Community and Andalusia, where its intense red pigmentation develops thanks to the region’s thermal contrast. Known for its vibrant color and sweet-tart flavor, the Sanguinelli is prized for fresh consumption and juice production.
