Lanelate Orange

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Also known as Navel-Lane. Late orange of the Navel family, medium size and rounded shape, smooth skin of little thickness and orange-yellow color. Its navel is more discreet than that of other Navel varieties. With an excellent and very sweet flavor, it produces a large amount of juice and does not have seeds, being suitable both for juice and for table orange. Unlike other varieties, past its optimal ripening point it does not change its flavor.

CALIBER:
The average caliber of this variety is medium size: the vast majority of pieces are above 75 mm. The minimum commercial caliber in Naranjas de Cullera for this variety is 67 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, taking into account that they are perishable and without post-harvest treatments, it is also possible that some piece will spoil before 30 days.

POSSIBLE INCONVENIENCES:
It may present aesthetic defects that do not affect its quality (see our blog in this regard). In advanced stages of its ripening it can be soft. Like all fresh oranges without post-harvest treatments, they do not peel completely well by hand.

Murcott Mandarin

OVERVIEW:
The fruits are small, flattened, and have a bright reddish color, less intense towards the end of their ripening. Easy to peel with tender, melting flesh, rich in juice, and with a characteristic slightly acidic taste. Like most mandarins, it usually has no seeds, unless there is cross-pollination by bees with other varieties. It is a patented variety highly appreciated for its flavor. After harvest, it can last up to 20 days in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight. Its harvest time is between February and March.

SIZE:
This variety is small. The smallest size marketed for fresh oranges delivered to your door is 50 mm for this variety.

DURABILITY:
They remain in good condition for up to 20 days after harvest (some fruits even longer) if our storage recommendations are followed: Remove them immediately from the box, spread them out on a large surface, protected from extreme temperatures and humidity, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and separate any fruit that may be spoiling. These measures must always be followed, as it must be remembered that these are perishable products that have not been treated after harvest, so it is even possible that some fruits will spoil before 20 days.

POSSIBLE INCONVENIENCES:
It may have aesthetic defects, but these do not affect its quality (see our blog on this topic). In the advanced state of ripeness, it may be soft and change flavor.
