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.
Hass Avocado
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Hass avocado is a large fruit with an average weight ranging from 200 to 350 grams.
When the fruit is ripe, the skin is rough, dark purple to nearly black, and yields to gentle
pressure. The flesh is green with whitish or yellowish tones, with a flavor similar to nuts,
and a single round and large seed in the center. This variety is larger than the Hass avocado
and is harvested later, between March and July.
CALIBER:
The average caliber of this variety is usually large, with the majority of pieces measuring
above 70 mm at their widest part.
DURABILITY:
It is harvested when it reaches an appropriate size and ripens 10 to 12 days after
being harvested. If you want to accelerate the ripening of some of them, a good trick
is to place an apple nearby.
Once ripe, it is best preserved in the refrigerator, where it can remain in good
condition for approximately one week.
DISADVANTAGES:
Once ripe, it does not last more than a week in the refrigerator.
Conventional farming
These fruits come from conventional farming, which means they may have
received conventional treatments during their production. Once harvested,
they are only cleaned with a cloth before being marketed. No waxes, fungicides,
or other preservatives are added to them. The treatments applied by
our farmers exclusively use products authorized by the EU. Nevertheless, a
significant portion of the fruits we serve comes from orchards that have
not received any pesticide treatments.
