Maltese Orange – A3 Framed Poster – Wooden Frame, Premium Paper

The Maltese orange is undoubtedly one of the most renowned and sought-after varieties among citrus enthusiasts. In his Pomologie Française , Pierre-Antoine Poiteau paints a portrait that is both scientific and sensitive, revealing the full complexity of this orange with its luminous red flesh and captivating fragrance .

Under this emblematic name, the fruit shops of Paris once referred to all oranges with red pulp, as opposed to those "from Portugal" with yellow flesh. But behind this simple name lies an astonishing diversity: round or oblong fruits , with thin or thick skin , from crops originating in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Piedmont .

Poiteau marveled at this variety of shapes and colors, even noting that the same tree could produce both red and yellow fruit—a botanical oddity of interest to botanists. The Maltese orange, often harvested at the end of winter, then offered a lively and balanced flavor , sweet without being overly so, and slightly acidic.

Born of sunshine and science, it symbolizes Mediterranean elegance, a blend of color, fragrance, and natural perfection . This illustrated plate, taken from the masterful work of Poiteau and Turpin, captures all its nobility and visual sensuality , immortalizing one of the jewels of the European orchard.
