Oranfrizer packages Sicilian Blood Oranges with Protected Designation of Origin certification and it is the first company certified for packaging Sicilian IGP Blood Orange Juice. The IGP certification guarantees the origin of blood oranges cultivated in Sicily, in an area identified by the European Union. The fertile Sicilian lands offer particular local climate conditions and simultaneously and naturally impart the taste, colour and odour to the citrus fruit, as well as the unique and inimitable beneficial properties; citrus fruit which are recognized throughout the world.
Oranfrizer packages the Syracuse Lemon IGP, distributing it both in Italy and abroad. The Protected Designation of Origin (IGP) certificate guarantees the origin of the Syracuse Lemon; a recognition which is reserved for lemons cultivated in the area of Syracuse which have been grown and harvested under rigorous protocols. The 10 communes of the Sicilian district recognised for this special product, husband fertile and luxuriant land.

Oranfrizer aims at spreading new and healthy food habits allied with the consumption of certified excellent quality products. The activities of introduction and promotion of prized Sicilian citrus fruit are under constant evolution, that is of the Sicilian IGP Blood Orange (fresh and juiced) and of Syracuse Lemons IGP (yellow and green). Oranfrizer exports these Sicilian products throughout the world and through careful marketing strategies, emphasises their strengths. How does one recognise our certified products? The EU has created a quality system which identifies and protects products of real quality and genuineness, in order to help consumers recognise these standards within national and international market places. The quality logo distinguishes the product and guarantees that it is produced according to specific and rigorous directives, and that the product is original. The source and complete denomination - “Blood Oranges of Sicily IGP” and “Lemons of Syracuse IGP” - are present on all certified products offered for sale. The producers and packagers who, like Oranfrizer, may boast the use of the logos and complete denominations, must be registered with the Control System of the Overseeing Consortium, with the obligation of complying with the production regulations.
