Amongst them is Cedrato con fior e Sugo doppio - a tantalizing citrus fruit known for its unique flavor profile. This historical garden holds secrets dating back centuries and has been meticulously restored to showcase its 18th-century splendor. Continuing our journey through the Hesperides Gardens, we encounter Aranzi del grand Sorte and Herrnhuetten - two varieties of citrus fruits that grace these enchanting grounds.
