Organic Mixed Box 20 kg (18 kg oranges + 2 kg avocados)

Navelina Orange

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
It is the earliest orange of the Navel class, more round than flat, large in size, and sometimes with a very noticeable navel. Its skin is slightly rough, of medium thickness, and its color can vary between a yellowish orange and an intense bright orange. It has very juicy pulp, seedless, excellent flavor, and very sweet, suitable for both juice and table orange. Its harvesting period is between November and February.

CALIBER:
The average caliber of this variety is large, with the majority of pieces measuring above 80 mm. The minimum commercial caliber in Naranjas de Cullera for this variety is 67 mm.

DURABILITY:
It can be kept in good condition for up to 30 days after harvesting (some pieces even longer), always following our instructions for preservation: immediately remove them from the box, spread them on a wide surface, with temperature and humidity not extreme, without direct sunlight or heat sources, and discard any pieces that may spoil. This is a general rule, considering that they are perishable and without post-harvest treatments, it is also possible that some pieces may spoil before 30 days.

POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS:
It may have aesthetic defects that do not affect its quality (see our blog for more information). In advanced stages of ripening, it can become soft and may change in flavor. Like all fresh oranges without post-harvest treatments, they do not peel 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.
