De Jong opened the scoring after just three minutes with a right-footed shot that found the bottom left-hand corner.
Ferran Torres doubled the lead five minutes later when he latched onto Alejandro Balde’s through ball. Raphinha then capitalised on a defensive error to make it 3-0 before the 15-minute mark.
Lopez added a fourth on 24 minutes and a fifth before the break with a powerful shot from the right.
Hugo Duro grabbed a consolation for Valencia after the break with a shot from close range. But Barcelona continued to dominate and substitute Robert Lewandowski added a sixth before an unfortunate own goal from Cesar Tarrega secured Hansi Flick’s side victory.
Barcelona sit third in the standings with 42 points, three behind second-placed Atletico Madrid and seven behind leaders Real Madrid.
