Tarocco, meaning beautiful in Sicilian dialect, was given to the Sicilian blood red oranges for their sanguine color, tart-sweetness and flavor.

There is a new small American business, based in New York, producing some of the hottest candles seen here in Hollywood.

Tarocco, meaning beautiful in Sicilian dialect, was given to the Sicilian blood red oranges for their sanguine color, tart-sweetness and flavor. 

The new Tarocco home fragrance collection from Baronessa Consuelo Cali features a variety of must-own candles made right here in the USA that delight the senses with a subtle aroma from Sicilian Red Orange Extracts. 

The reasonably-priced candle collection will light up the room with wonderful scents of Sicily.   The company, owned by Baronessa Consuelo Cali, has humble roots in the town of Rapsi, in the provence of Francofonte, Sicily.

Cail says, "My great great-grandfather Gesualdo Di Naro was a farmer, he owned several orange and olive groves throughout the territory. One day walking through his fields he found an orange with a unique red color, sweetness and flavor. Tarocco - also know as Blood Orange and Red Orange -  the first name given to it, meaning beautiful in Sicilian dialect, was his discovery."

Blood Oranges are also featured in the visceral opening of 'Dexter" on Showtime, and they are distinctive and have a different scent and flavor than a traditional orange.     

"As a baby, a young girl and a woman I have so many distinct memories of my country of Sicily. Most of these memories are attached to particular scents. Running through the fields of my family's olive and orange groves, playing with my friends, meals with so many relatives and the births of my brother and sister," adds Cali, who has taken real Blood Orange extracts from Sicily and combined with Soy Candles that are striking to look at, better to smell.

The Cali Cosmetics’ Tarocco Sicilian Red Orange Candle Collection includes: Tarocco Single Wick Soy Candles, 11 oz., Tarocco Pillar Candles, 3” x 4”, Tarocco Three Wick Candle,  Tarocco Votive Candles, Set of 4.

These Soy Candles are naturally fragrant and truly are the current favorite candle seen inside many Hollywood trailers, makeup rooms and dressing rooms. The addictive Blood Orange oils that make these candles so refreshing fill up the room with a calming scent from the Baronessa's Scents of Sicily collection.

The beautiful soy 3-wick candle has a burn time of 75-85 hours. The single candle has a burn time of 65 to 75 hours.
