Citrus peeling - Why is it that when I use a peeler, some orange peels come off with a ton of white on the peel and others come off as pure orange?

I peel oranges a lot, but it’s always a gamble whether or not I’m going to get a good orange. Sometimes, I peel them and the peel comes off and has NO WHITE on it. That makes it easier to extract the oils when I muddle them for an old fashioned.

But with some oranges, it’s nearly impossible to get the peel off without the white stuff coming off with it and blocking the oil from coming out easily. Also it just tastes worse.

I’m 99.9% sure it’s due to variances between oranges, but I have no idea how to pick the right ones at the store!
