Expect mounds of fresh blood oranges to snack on, plus tasting stations where a range of blood orange products can be sampled. Think gelato, infused olive oil, treats, bakes, candles and body products. It’s a day to celebrate this deliciously juicy fruit, with its sweet, sharp and aromatic flesh. That they’re also super healthy is just a wonderful bonus. We simply adore blood oranges and want to share in the bounty.
