Oranges Barberina

Origin

The Barberina orange is a spontaneous mutation of the Valencia Late variety, discovered in 1982 in Rafelcofer, Valencia, by Vicente Barber. This variety is characterized by its late ripening and high organoleptic quality.

Characteristics

The Barberina tree has a vigorous and compact growth habit, with large, dark green leaves and wood that is darker than that of the Valencia Late. The fruit is large, round to slightly elongated, seedless and without a navel. The skin is medium thickness, uniformly orange in color and has a waxy appearance. The pulp is juicy, with a high juice content (50-55%), sweet flavor and low acidity, making it ideal for fresh consumption and juice.

Harvesting season

The harvesting of Barberina in the Comunitat Valenciana takes place from early May until July. The fruits can remain on the tree for several months without losing quality, allowing for an extended window of fresh marketing.

Culinary uses

The Barberina orange is suitable for both fresh consumption and juice production, thanks to its high juice content and balanced flavor. Its juice does not become bitter after squeezing, making it ideal for fresh juices. It is also suitable for the food industry in the production of juices and other derived products.

Agronomic notes

The Barberina is a productive variety, with high-quality fruits that can remain on the tree without deterioration. It has lower acidity than the Valencia Late, which makes it sweeter. It is resistant to fruit drop due to its robust peduncle. Its cultivation is recommended on Citrange rootstocks for optimal development. In post-harvest, the fruits can be stored in cold, although excessively low temperatures can cause cold damage.

Sanguinelli Sanguinelli

Sanguinelli: Blood Orange

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The blood orange is a variety of orange with flesh spots of dark red color, whose juice has a color similar to raspberry. The degree of this coloration depends mainly on strong temperature changes between day and night, as well as the variety. The dark red color of its flesh is due to the presence of anthocyanins, which are pigments with antioxidant properties common in many flowers and fruits although rare in citrus fruits. Although they can be harvested from December to May, in our area the best months are February and March. It is round, medium or small in size, smooth skin of little thickness and orange color with red spots. It is a very juicy orange, with a higher degree of acidity than Lanelate and a delicious special flavor. It may have some seeds. It produces a large amount of juice, although it can also be taken as a table orange. The pulp of these oranges is strong and compact.

CALIBER:
The average caliber of this variety is medium or small. The minimum commercial caliber in Naranjas de Cullera for this variety is 60 mm.

DURABILITY:
It is kept in good condition up to 30 days after harvest (some pieces even more), always following our instructions for its conservation: remove them immediately from the box, spread them on a large surface, with temperature and humidity not extreme, without direct sunlight or heat sources, and discarding any piece that may spoil. This is a general rule, considering that they are perishable and without post-harvest treatments, it is also possible that some piece will spoil before 30 days.

POSSIBLE INCONVENIENCES:
For those who like sweet oranges and do not tolerate acid, this is not their orange. It usually has seeds. It may have aesthetic defects that do not affect its quality (see our blog about it). In advanced stages of ripening it may be soft. Like all fresh oranges and without post-harvest treatments, they do not peel well with the hand.

Conventional farming

These fruits come from conventional farming, which means they may have received conventional treatments during their production. Once harvested, they are only cleaned with a cloth before being marketed. No waxes, fungicides, or other preservatives are added to them. The treatments applied by our farmers exclusively use products authorized by the EU. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the fruits we serve comes from orchards that have not received any pesticide treatments.
