Sukkari translates to "sugary" — and the Egyptian Sukkari orange lives up to the name. Very low acidity and very high sugar content give a flavour profile that is closer to a sweet drink than to a typical orange. Skin is delicate, flesh is tender, and the variety is uniquely Egyptian. Programmed for premium GCC retail and high-end gifting; the season is tight and the volumes are limited. This is the orange that buyers reserve a year in advance to put their name on.
