I love blood oranges. I hate waiting all year until their brief window arrives, and usually I can find them locally...but not this year. No one had them. So I went with ordering from Melissa's. I am not sorry I did. Melissa's oranges came from California, not overseas somewhere, and were SO very good. They shipped extremely fast and arrived well packaged. If you've never had blood oranges; you're missing out. Generally not too different from regular oranges, often more tart and with a richer, more complex flavor hinting at raspberry. They also have even more vitamins and are extremely rich in antioxidants. I'll just order from Melissa's again next year to be certain of getting my yearly fix!
