Reply To: Bitter oranges

As far as I know they are not grown or sold commercially. You come by them by knowing someone who has a tree. The trees are not uncommon, so if you ask around among your Greek neighbours you may well find somebody happy to give you a kilo or two What you can buy at good greengrocers in January is the [ch960][ch949][ch961][ch947][ch945][ch956][ch972][ch957][ch964][ch959] or bergamot orange. Much used here in spoon sweets and has a wonderful perfumed flavour.
