Bitter oranges have thick, dimpled skin that is valued for making marmalade due to its high pectin content compared to sweet oranges. The fruit's peel has a deep orange color and contains fragrant essential oils. Its pale orange flesh is translucent and often difficult to peel because the peel clings tightly. Bitter oranges are sour, tart, and sometimes bitter, with many seeds. They have two notable characteristics: their peel is rich in essential oils, and when ripe, their flesh is extremely juicy. The most common use for Seville oranges is producing marmalade, where both the peel and juice can be utilized to create complex flavors. The sour and bitter notes of the fruit can be developed into deeper elements during the marmalade-making process. Many varieties of bitter orange are also used for their essential oil in perfumes, flavorings, or as solvents.Oranges of this variety are harvested from the tree once a year.
