VALENCIAN ORANGE

Valencian Orange, also known as "Navelina" or simply "Valencia," is one of the most famous and widely cultivated varieties of orange, originating from the Mediterranean region, particularly in Spain. Renowned for its high quality and excellent flavor, the Valencian Orange has earned a place as a staple in both fresh consumption and juice production.

The fruit is medium to large in size, with a bright orange skin that is easy to peel, making it convenient for snacking. Inside, the flesh is juicy, sweet, and tangy, with a perfect balance of natural sugars and acidity. This variety of orange is prized for its refreshing taste, which makes it ideal for fresh consumption as a snack, in fruit salads, or as a topping for desserts. Valencian oranges are also a preferred choice for juicing, as their high juice content makes them perfect for extracting fresh, flavorful orange juice.

Valencian oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which contribute to maintaining a healthy immune system, promoting digestion, and supporting skin health. Additionally, they provide a variety of essential nutrients, including potassium and folate.

This variety thrives in the temperate Mediterranean climate, particularly in the Valencian region of Spain, where the combination of fertile soils and ample sunshine results in optimal fruit growth. Valencian oranges are harvested typically in the winter to early spring months, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, high-quality fruit.
