Mixed Box 20.2 kg (20 kg mandarins + 200 g dehydrated citrus fruits)

Oronules

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Oronules is the earliest member of the Clementine family. It is medium-sized and has an intense orange color, although it often retains some green areas on the skin when fully ripe. Its pulp is fine and has an excellent flavour, making it considered a mandarin of very good quality. Its juice is also excellent. Its skin is soft and slightly thick, making it easy to peel and separate into juicy segments; it is ideal for children.

SIZE:
The average size of this variety is around 60 mm in diameter. The minimum commercial size at Naranjas de Cullera for this variety is 54 mm.

DURABILITY:
Smaller specimens may have thinner skin and may become a bit difficult to peel over time, although they remain juicy on the inside. They can be stored well for up to 20 days after harvesting, always following our instructions for preservation: remove them from the box immediately, spread them on a wide surface with moderate temperature and humidity, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, and discard any piece that may be damaged. This is a general guideline, considering that they are perishable and without post-harvest treatments, some pieces may spoil before the 20 days.

POTENTIAL ISSUES:
Being an early variety, a small percentage of the total harvest may experience some drying or browning of segments or individual pieces due to heat, which may be indistinguishable from the rest based on their external appearance. Like most mandarins, they may contain a few seeds due to cross-pollination.
