While the range of the Valencian company includes the usual commercial clementine, mandarin and orange varieties, four years ago, its R&D department bet on the planting of red-fleshed varieties, given the added value of their attractive pulp, which makes them stand out for their texture and colour. We are talking about the Ruby Valencia oranges and the Kirkwood Red Navel.
"These oranges look normal on the outside, with an orange skin, but on the inside, their pulp is reddish, similar to the better known Cara Cara. While the Kirkwood Red Navel is harvested from February, the Ruby Valencia orange is being harvested at now. This variety is juicier than the Valencia Late and has higher sugar levels, making it highly appreciated in the markets," says a representative of the company's commercial department.
