The Sanguinelli is one of the classic Spanish blood orange varieties, prized for its balance of sweetness and acidity and its striking color. Unlike darker blood oranges, Sanguinelli typically has an orange exterior with a subtle red blush, while the interior shows ruby-red streaks and segments layered over a traditional orange base.

Flavor-wise, Sanguinelli is bright, juicy, and slightly tart, with gentle berry notes that aren’t overpowering. It’s less intense than Moro, making it especially versatile and approachable.

Best uses:

• Fresh eating

• Juicing (vivid color without heavy bitterness)

• Citrus salads

• Cocktails and desserts where a lighter blood-orange flavor is preferred

Sanguinelli ripens later in the season and is known for consistent quality, making it a favorite for both fresh markets and culinary use.
