Valencia closes out the Egyptian citrus season. Late-maturing, thick juice (45–50% yield), Brix 11–13, thin skin that travels well in a 30-day reefer. Grown mostly in the Delta and the reclaimed lands west of Alexandria (Nubaria). Our Valencia is primarily booked by juice concentrators and GCC retailers who want citrus on shelf through the European summer.
