Orange

October — August

Iberica Fruit, based in Valencia – a region famous for its great citrus and the largest producer of oranges in Spain – offers the finest varieties of oranges. The season begins in autumn as temperatures fall, starting with the Navel varieties – Spain´s core winter oranges. The sweet Navelina is usually the first Spanish orange out on the market, followed by Navel and Salustiana. In the orange mid-season we see varieties like Lane Late and Navelate, followed by late-season varieties like Powell, Valencia Late and blood orange Sanguinelli.

Varieties

Navel Group

Oct — May
Sweet flavour with low acidity, seedless and easy to peel. Spain´s core winter oranges. Less juice compared to Valencia Late and therefore mainly used as fresh-eating oranges, not industrial juice oranges. Cannot stay long on the tree without loosing quality (in contrast to Valencia Late oranges).

Navelina

Oct — Jan

early variety, medium size. Easy to peal, seedless, sweet and juicy, acid balance.

Navel

Nov — Feb

Larger fruit, seedless, good flavour intensity and sweet taste

Lane Late

Jan — Apr

Later-ripening navel, good shelf life, smooth peel. High juice content, sweet, slightly more acidic than navel.

Navelate

Feb — Apr

Premium late Navel. Excellent and very sweet flavour, thin skin.

Powell

Mar — May

Late navels, extend the navel orange season into spring

Valencia Late

Mar — Aug
Spain´s main juice orange but also eaten fresh. High juice content, balanced sweet-acid profile. Thin but firm skin, more seeds than navels, and good shelf life. Can stay on the tree for a long time without losing quality. Unlike Navel oranges, Valencia Late can remain on the tree into summer, which is why it extends the season.

Blood Orange Sanguina

Jan — Mar
A late season citrus, especially important in regions like Valencia and Murcia.

Sanguinelli

Feb — Apr

The most important blood orange variety in Spain, with attractive skin blush, deep red flesh, and a strong balance of sweetness and acidity. Seeded or semi-seeded.

Tarocco

Jan — Mar

Lighter red pigmentation compared to Sanguinelli. Very sweet, aromatic and almost seedless.

Moro
