Laraha orange
The Laraha orange is a citrus fruit native to the Caribbean island of Curacao. It is a hybrid of the bitter orange and is known for its small size and bright orange color. Unlike sweet oranges, Laraha oranges are not typically eaten fresh due to their bitter taste, but they are valued for their aromatic peel and essential oils.
Laraha oranges are often used to produce liqueurs, particularly the famous Blue Curacao, which is made by distilling the fruit's peel. The fruit's unique flavor profile and fragrance make it a popular ingredient in various culinary applications, including desserts and cocktails.
