Bitter orange is a citrus fruit close to oranges, but very bitter and it must be cooked or candied to be taste good. The sweet orange (citrus sinencis), that we know of today, appeared only in the 15th century, and it was not found in cookery before the 16th century. So beware, when you read the word orange in a medieval text, it always refers to the bitter orange! -- source link
