Limited Citrus Offerings From Cecelia Packing to Start in January

Cecelia Packing is gearing up for their Sky Valley Heirloom Navel season.  The limited offering of these premium navels will begin shipping in January and continue to early April.

Packaged under the Sky Valley brand and in their distinctive blue and orange four-pound bag, these premium heirloom navels have become synonymous with great flavor, company officials say. Sky Valley Heirloom Navels come from a single ranch developed in the 1930s and grown in the shadow of Smith Mountain near Orange Cove, Calif.

“We are anticipating an excellent crop to jump start the New Year,” says Randy Jacobson, sales manager for Cecelia Packing.  “As we get closer to January, the sugar and acid levels in the fruit begin to rise creating the distinctive, ‘incredibly orange’ flavor that Sky Valley is famous for.”

Cecelia Packing has also installed a brix sensor to their packing equipment.  The new technology will allow for greater quality control on their citrus products, officials add. The sensor can detect internal parameters of quality such as sugar content, dryness, and internal physiological defects.
