Dark green, orange and sometimes almost chocolate brown: the Carissima Chocolate Orange stands out from the crowd at first glance. Its fascinating interplay of colours is a quirk of nature – and makes every fruit something special.
This extraordinary variety of orange was discovered in the 1980s near Valencia, when a Navelina tree suddenly began to bear almost brown and particularly aromatic fruit.
Behind its unusual skin lies an elegant, delicately balanced flavour reminiscent of the fine Navel Late variety.
