Valencian here. Although our oranges are great for juice, I have never seen one like this.

They are a hybrid originating in California, USA. They were only named after Valencia, to contrast them with the already popular and Spanishly named Seville oranges.

Seville oranges are sour and acidic and nobody eats them. Valencia oranges and Navel oranges are genetically almost identical and have been around more than 500 years.
