The diarchy of oranges: the bitter and sweet one

Oranges, with their distinctive nuances of flavor, delight us with an interesting dualism: bitter and sweet.

On the one hand, the bitter orange fascinates with its boldness. Its bitter intensity may initially surprise, but refined palates can appreciate its essence. If studied carefully, this variety can reveal a profound complexity, perfect for giving a surprising touch to dishes, drinks and even perfumes. Its unique profile offers a real surprise for the senses.

On the other hand, sweet oranges evoke a classic and familiar harmony. With their natural sweetness and unmistakable juiciness, sweet oranges are a reassuring and satisfying experience. Their versatility is a celebration of the simple pleasure of ripe fruit.

In nature, as in life, balance is essential. Just as a knowledgeable grower cares for both varieties, we are invited to embrace both: the bitter and the sweet. So, we decided to embrace this essence and transport it into our products, producing Cartasio, a bitter orange bitter which, if mastered, can become a fascinating addition capable of giving depth and refinement and Burtuqa, a sweet orange liqueur which , in a harmonious balance, gives life to a complete and rewarding tasting experience.

Oranges, with their differences, teach us that every nuance has its role and its value.
