Orange Valencia (88 Pc)

Product Overview:
The Valencia Orange is globally renowned as the "King of Juice Oranges." Sourced from sunny groves where they are left on the tree longer to develop maximum sugar levels, these oranges are characterized by their smooth, thin peel and heavy weight. Unlike other varieties, Valencias have a unique ability to "re-green" slightly while remaining fully ripe, a natural sign of high chlorophyll and sugar retention. The interior is vibrant, virtually seedless, and packed with a deep orange nectar that is famous for its intense, refreshing aroma.

Key Features:

Maximum Juice Yield: Selected for their thin rinds and high density, providing significantly more juice per fruit than Navel or common varieties.

Sweet-Tangy Balance: Offers a sophisticated flavor profile that is primarily sweet with a clean, acidic finish that refreshes the palate.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every orange is hand-inspected for "firm elasticity"—ensuring the fruit feels heavy for its size (an SQA-approved indicator of high juice content). We check for a smooth, unblemished skin and verify the presence of a fresh, green stem-button (SQA Checked).

Exceptional Stability: The juice from Valencia oranges does not turn bitter after being squeezed, making it perfect for bottling or preparing in advance.
