Oranges from Sóller: the sweet gold of the Tramuntana valley
In the heart of the Tramuntana mountains lies the Sóller valley, famous for its juicy, honey-sweet citrus fruit. From fresh juice and orange ice cream to balsamic vinegar and liqueur.
Quick answer
Oranges from Sóller: the sweet gold of the Tramuntana valley
Oranges from Sóller are mainly of the Canoneta variety and are grown in the sheltered microclimate of the Tramuntana valley, without carrying their own D.O. or I.G.P. label. They are made into juice, marmalade, liqueur, mustard and the well-known orange ice cream. The Fet a Sóller cooperative markets many of these products through its own shop and also ships them abroad.
Why are the oranges from Sóller world-famous? (The Canoneta variety)
The Sóller valley is sheltered from cold winds by the surrounding Tramuntana mountains, creating a mild microclimate that has benefited citrus growing for generations. The juicy Canoneta orange is particularly well known; its sweetness and aroma have earned the valley the nickname “Valley of Gold”.
The range of orange products: marmalade, oil, liqueur & mustard
Besides fresh juice, the oranges are turned into marmalades, orange liqueur, orange-flavoured oil and even mustard. This range of products makes the citrus fruit a fixture of the local delicatessen scene, well beyond the fresh fruit itself.
The famous orange ice cream in Sóller & Port de Sóller
In Sóller and the nearby harbour village of Port de Sóller, orange ice cream is one of the most popular refreshments, especially in the warmer months. It is traditionally made from the juice of fresh Canoneta oranges.
Fet a Sóller: the cooperative & the factory shop at the station
The Fet a Sóller cooperative brings together the produce of several local producers and runs a factory shop where you can buy juice, marmalades and other orange products. It also ships selected products directly to Germany and Austria.
Fira de la Taronja: the orange festival in spring
In spring – in recent years in April – Sóller holds the Fira de la Taronja, a festival centred on the orange harvest with stalls run by local producers. Check the exact dates before your visit, as they can vary from year to year.
