Valencia is the late-season Egyptian orange — a thinner-rind, juicier cultivar that takes over from Navel in the spring and runs through summer. It's the preferred grade for juice processing and for buyers who want continued citrus supply after the Navel window closes. Sourced from Nile Delta orchards and packed for export.
