It is produced in citrus groves under organic or integrated cultivation, with the characteristic of the surrounding areas of uncultivated and pasture land, where the cultivation of different varieties of orange trees (navelino, tarocco, moro, sanguinello, valencia) is prevalent. The production areas are: Piana di Catania where the PGI blood orange is procured, coasts and valleys of Agrigento where the PGI blond orange riberella is produced.

The orange plant has a medium-long flowering period, around 15-20 days, depending on the climate and the variety of plant, in the months of April and May, when the flowers release an intense perfume, especially in the early morning and in the evening on fine spring days.

Orange honey has an intense aroma, a delicate and aromatic flavour, a very light colour, which becomes whiter when it crystallises, which occurs spontaneously a few months after harvesting.

Purifying: a spoonful of orange honey before meals, taken as it is or dissolved in a glass of lukewarm water purifies the body in case of minor food poisoning.
