Oranges València Late

Origin

The Valencia Late orange variety has an uncertain origin, although it is believed to come from Portugal, where it appeared a long time ago. Initially, it received names such as Excelsior, Rivers Late, Hart Late, or Hart's Tardif, until it was named Valencia Late in 1987. It was introduced in Spain by the Naranjera de Levante Station and began to spread widely in the first half of the 20th century. In the 1977-1978 campaign, it surpassed the Berna variety in production, becoming the most cultivated late orange variety in Spain. In 1966, the Late Frost variety, of nuclear origin, was imported from California and began to be commercially disseminated.

Characteristics

The Valencia Late tree is vigorous and thornless. It has low viable pollen and is self-compatible. The fruit is medium-sized, weighing between 170 and 220 grams, with a diameter of 64 to 80 mm. It is round in shape, with a diameter/height ratio of 1.01. The rind is a bright orange color, with a color index of 10, and a thickness of 2.7 to 3.7 mm. The pulp is juicy, with a juice content that varies between 53% and 58%. The number of seeds per fruit is low, generally between 1 and 4. The flavor is balanced, with a notable sweetness and a slight acidity.

Harvesting period

The harvesting of Valencia Late in the Comunitat Valenciana takes place between March 20 and June 15. This variety holds well on the tree, allowing for harvesting until summer without losing quality. Its optimal fresh marketing window spans from late March to mid-June.

Culinary uses

Valencia Late is suitable for both fresh consumption and industry. Its high juice content and balanced flavor profile make it ideal for the production of natural juices. Additionally, its juicy pulp and slightly acidic flavor make it an excellent option for direct consumption as table fruit.

Agronomic notes

Valencia Late is a productive variety, although it shows a slight tendency to alternate harvests. It is somewhat sensitive to greening. It adapts well to all citrus-growing areas, although it is especially recommended in those where the risks of late frosts are not very high. The fruit has good conservation on the tree, although at the end of the harvesting period, the neck of the fruit may turn green. Its post-harvest behavior is favorable, allowing for storage in chambers for summer consumption.

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.

Organic Farming

These fruits come from a certified organic farming that respects the environment. Treatments are only applied when necessary and always with natural substances approved by the organic agriculture committee. Like all our products, they undergo no post-harvest treatment.

Different regional control bodies in Europe ensure that consumers receive truly organic products. The organization for our region is CAECV (Committee of Organic Agriculture of the Valencian Community), authorized by the European Union with code ES-ECO-020-CV.
