Season calendar
The orange season in Tenerife, and in general in Spain, is usually:
- Navel Oranges: From November to March. These are some of the most popular oranges and are known for being seedless and sweet in flavor.
- Late Oranges: From March to June. These oranges are ideal for making juice due to their high juice content.
- Summer oranges: As their name indicates, they are collected in summer, mainly in the months of July and August.
- Early varieties: They are collected since October, and they are the first oranges that appear in the season.
It is important to keep in mind that these dates are approximate and may vary depending on the weather conditions of each year and other factors. Additionally, the variety of oranges grown and the accuracy of the season may differ slightly between different areas of Tenerife.
Selection tips
Some tips to help you choose the best oranges are:
- External appearance: Look for oranges that have smooth, shiny skin. Avoid those with stains, discolorations, or moldy areas.
- Texture: Gently press the orange with your fingers. It should feel firm but slightly springy. If it is too soft, it could be overripe or have rotten areas.
- Weight: A good orange is usually heavy for its size. This usually indicates that it is full of juice. If you are comparing two oranges of the same size, choose the heavier one.
- Smell: A fresh, ripe orange will give off a sweet citrus aroma. If it doesn't smell like anything or has a strange smell, it's best to avoid it.
- Shape: Although a perfectly round shape is not essential, avoid oddly shaped oranges or unusual bumps, as this could indicate irregular growth or some type of disease.
- Skin: While a thin skin usually indicates more juice inside, a skin that is too thin can make the orange more susceptible to damage or disease. Look for a balance.
- Avoid blemishes: While a few superficial spots or scars won't affect the flavor or quality of the interior, it's best to avoid oranges with deep cuts, sunken areas, or mold spots.
Conservation
Once you have selected your oranges, store them in a cool, dry place. If you don't plan to eat them within a week, consider storing them in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness.
