Elorina Variety

Navelinas are the first oranges to ripen, starting with the VCR variety which we harvest as early as October. Their early ripening also defines their flavor: sweet, yet with a pleasant, noticeable tangy note that balances the taste and makes it unique.

These oranges are seedless and almost always oval in shape, with the exception of the Nucellare which is slightly rounder. The skin, deep orange in color, is smooth and uniform, releasing its fragrance upon peeling.

Excellent to enjoy segment by segment for citrus lovers, Navelinas truly shine in desserts and marmalades, balancing the sweetness of recipes with their interesting tangy touch.

Their firm, well-structured peel—100% edible—is ideal for adding to marmalades or making candied orange peel (perhaps even coated in chocolate!).

The Washington Navel is a medium-large orange (around 200 grams) and is distinguished from other Navelinas by its thin, easily peelable rind, its melt-in-the-mouth flesh, and its perfectly balanced flavor, with low acidity that makes it extremely easy to digest.

Balanced and light: the Washington Navel is the perfect table orange, ideal to enjoy after meals. Whoever says citrus fruits are heavy after eating has never tried a Washington!

Also an excellent choice for morning freshly squeezed juices, thanks to its excellent juice yield. Truly an all-round orange.

The Chislett Summer Navel orange is a rounded or slightly ovoid fruit, with good firmness and bright orange flesh. This orange features the characteristic “navel” typical of Navel varieties and stands out for its high content of sugars and citric acid, which creates a bold, balanced flavor.

It is a true summer orange, thanks to its extended harvesting window reaching late summer: alongside Navel Powell and Valencia, it is a key player in continuing the orange campaign into the warmest season.

The Chislett Summer Navel boasts an excellent juice yield and a balanced flavor: it is among the ideal oranges for freshly squeezed juice, also thanks to the absence of limonin, the compound that in some cases causes a bitter aftertaste in citrus fruits.

It is a later orange variety compared to its similar navel counterparts, with characteristics that determine its ripening from March onward, sometimes allowing the fruit to remain in optimal condition on the tree even through May: hence the term “late” in its name.
Lane Late oranges are spherical in shape, with thin skin that is less pebbled than Washington Navel, characterized by crisp blonde flesh, seedlessness, a sweet flavor, and fairly low sugar content: its sweetness is indeed enhanced by low acidity.

Thanks to its sweetness and the crispness of its flesh, the Lane Late orange is a delight to eat at the table, but by virtue of its substantial juice content, it is also perfect for freshly squeezed juice: truly an all-round orange.

The Navel Powell is an oval / elongated orange with a thin rind rich in essential oils and flesh ranging in color from yellow to orange. This fruit, like other navel varieties, is seedless. The main characteristic of this variety is its ability to maintain excellent quality well into late summer, making it a quintessential summer orange alongside Chislett Summer Navel and Valencia.

Thanks to these varieties, it is possible to enjoy delicious oranges up to the warmest months.

High sugar content, low acidity, optimal juice percentage, and absence of limonin—the compound that imparts a bitter note to citrus fruits: Navel Powell is a perfect orange for freshly squeezed juice, but also delicious enjoyed in segments in all its freshness.

The word “summer” represents the lateness of this orange variety: Rohde oranges ripen between March and April but have a resistance on the tree reaching up to 90 days in some cases. These are oranges with an elongated shape and deep orange skin, thicker than that of the Lane Late but still easy to peel.

Like all navels, these oranges are seedless and, thanks to their optimal balance between sweetness and acidity, allow the orange season to carry over from late spring almost into summer.

Here again, as with the Lane Late, we are facing a delicious orange of remarkable versatility.
The Rohde Summer Navel is excellent eaten in segments and also ideal for freshly squeezed juices, thanks to its excellent sweetness/acidity ratio and good juice percentage.

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.

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.

Like all Navelinas, Newhall oranges are medium-large in size and oval-shaped, featuring blonde, seedless flesh. Their rind is a darker, more intense orange—almost reddish—because we harvest them later than earlier Navelinas.

Newhall oranges possess a sweet flavor and a high juice percentage: for this reason, they are the preferred choice for freshly squeezed juice and the commercial production of desserts and liqueurs. Furthermore, they are highly resistant oranges, well-suited for long-distance transport: their goodness reaches you wherever you are.

Thanks to their flavor, Newhalls are delicious for fresh eating and ideal for making freshly squeezed juices—especially for children, drawn in by their sweetness. For adults, we also recommend orange liqueurs: making them with Newhall guarantees an excellent result!
