"Valencia" Orange
The Valencia variety comes from California, where it was discovered in the late nineteenth century: it owes its name to the Spanish city, famous for the sweetness of its oranges.
Valencia is the summer orange: because of its harvesting period, it can be enjoyed in all its sweetness at the end of the classic orange season, for nearly the entire summer.
It is a medium-large fruit with a spherical or slightly elliptical shape and a firm, light orange rind. The crisp flesh contains a high juice yield and very few seeds. The skin has a low limonin content, making it among the least bitter.

Acidity:0,8 - 1,5

Valencia is perfect for freshly squeezed juices, thanks to its high juice percentage and pronounced sweetness, well balanced by a pleasing acidity. A concentrate of vitamins and flavor to enjoy at any time of day, to recharge during the warm season.
