Varieties Tarocco, Moro, Navel Load ports Genoa, Livorno, and Salerno

Roughly November to April out of Sicily and Calabria. The blood oranges — Tarocco, Moro, Sanguinello — are the part of this window nobody else supplies in volume, and they are grown where they are because the temperature swing on the slopes around Etna is what colours them.

That makes it a variety trade rather than a citrus trade. A buyer sourcing blood oranges has one serious origin and a short window, which is the opposite of the position they are in on navels, where Spain, Egypt, South Africa and California are all quoting.

Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
