The Valencia Orange is a large orange variety with a smooth and pebbled surface and a semi thick fragrant peel that clings loosely to its segmented and barely seeded flesh. Its flesh, when ripe, is supremely sweet, juicy and tender.
Maltas are most often eaten fresh or consumed as juice. They can be cut up to use in salads and desserts, or as garnishes for meat and poultry. Malta peel is also edible, and is sometimes candied or zested as flavouring for a variety of dishes. The pectin found in this fruit make oranges a great candidate to add to fruit preserves, or to make into marmalade.
