SORRENTO BLOND ORANGE

The Sorrento blonde orange (Citrus × sinensis), or arancia bionda sorrentina, is one of the traditional fruits of the Sorrento peninsula, having been cultivated there since about 1300.

The Sorrento blonde orange is cultivated using pergolas, wooden scaffolding typically made from chestnut wood from Cilento.

The orange trees grow below these structures, which are 7 meters tall, covered with straw mats, and flanked by nets and windbreaks.
