$3.99Aranciata di Sicilia - Sicily Blood Orange Soda - 11.15oz
The Blood Orange is a variety of orange with crimson, almost-blood-colored flesh. The fruit is roughly the same size as an average orange, but sometimes can be smaller or larger; its skin is usually pitted, but can be smooth. The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a family of antioxidant pigments common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits. Blood oranges have a unique flavor profile compared to other oranges, being distinctly raspberry-like in addition to the usual citrus notes. The arancia rossa di Sicilia (red orange of Sicily) has protected geographical status.

Molecola is the 100% Italian Cola! Made from the natural mineral water from the Rocciaviva springs in the Italian Alps giving it its' unique character. Molecola was born in Turin, Italy in 2012 from the idea to create a Cola completely Italian. Using a recipe inspired by a famous book of Piedmontese recipes written in 1854 and in collaboration with a historical Aromatherié from Florence, we have developed a beverage we believe is exceptional: delicious, refreshing…and 100% Italian. The cola was named after the Mole Antonelliana, a famous and much loved building in Turin. The building’s shape also inspired the design on the cans.
