Oranges are not just a random fruit. They are the gift of nature, wrapped in a peel, carrying a sweet and tangy taste. From sweet juicy tangelos to refreshing zesty sips, there exist countless types of oranges all across the world, each carrying a different texture, flavor and aroma. 

At Dolce Frutti, we take pride in offering premium citrus varieties, all the way from California’s Coachella Valley, while educating readers at the core. So, keep on reading, and in the forthcoming content, we will dig deep into various orange varieties, known for their exceptional taste and freshness. 

1. Temple Oranges – The Sweet and Smooth Favorite

A signature fruit from Dolce Frutti, Temple Oranges are prized for their rich sweetness and low acidity. Their thin skin makes them easy to peel, while the flesh offers a perfectly balanced flavor — not too tangy, not too sugary. Bursting with juice, Temple Oranges are ideal for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Their naturally glowing color and citrusy scent bring a taste of California sunshine to every bite.

2. Minneola Tangelos – The Zesty Citrus Hybrid

Our Minneola Tangelos are a customer favorite — a delightful cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. Recognizable by their slight neck-like shape, these tangelos are bursting with sweet-tart juice and a refreshing tang that tingles your taste buds. They peel easily, making them a great on-the-go snack or a bright addition to salads and desserts. The Minneola’s vibrant flavor captures the essence of Dolce Frutti’s commitment to quality and natural farming.
