The orange

The orange is one of the most characteristic products of Dénia’s orchard and a symbol of the agricultural richness of the Mediterranean. The mild and sunny climate of the Marina Alta offers the perfect conditions to obtain high quality fruits: sweet, juicy and aromatic, which stand out for their freshness and the intensity of their flavor. During the winter and spring, the orange trees fill the fields of the region with color, becoming an essential part of its landscape.In the local gastronomy, the orange is enjoyed both in its most natural form and in freshly squeezed juices, desserts, salads or even in savory recipes that enhance its citrus character. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient in local cuisine, while keeping alive an agricultural legacy that has marked the history and identity of the city.

Beyond its gastronomic value, the orange is also a cultural and economic emblem for Dénia. Its cultivation has shaped the landscape, has given sustenance to generations of farmers and today continues to be a product that represents sustainability and rootedness to the land. Each Dénia orange is, at the same time, a fruit and a story that connects past, present and future.

To taste a Dénia orange is to discover the essence of its land: a simple but extraordinary product that reflects the balance between tradition, nature and Mediterranean flavor.
