Lanelate: our juiciest orange is ready

By GAIA Redaktion 2 February 2018 Updated on 10 March 2023

Ruth lets you know that her Lanelate oranges are now available.

We are pleased to announce that the harvest of our delicious Lanelate navel orange is beginning. The first shipment is planned for Monday, 5 February.

As many of you already know, this orange stands out for its high juice content and the delicious taste of navel oranges. On average it is a little smaller than the Navelina orange.

You can enjoy our Lanelate from now until mid-April; order it as always on our website.

As for the mandarins, we have already started harvesting the Hernandina, a late clementine that is very sweet and easy to peel. Please note that the season for this mandarin will probably be very short, because this year it ripened a little earlier, at the same time as the last Clemenvillas, which kept very well until the end, so we only have a limited quantity.

By the way, we have just published an article on our blog about so-called “ugly oranges”, which may interest you.

Thank you for buying our oranges! Best wishes,

Joint ordering through (supra-)regional supply

On a voluntary basis, we are building alternatives to the existing corporate and industrial supply chain:

Get in touch

People in a region join forces, record their needs for goods and services (monthly, for example) and agree their requirements with ethically operating producers, traders and service providers, with call-offs that are as even as possible and optimised for transport.

We then order for many people on a single customer account and have the orders delivered directly to you or to the regions, where they are distributed further. This means less work for the supplier, who has only one customer account to manage and fewer invoices, but a larger order volume. In the regions, people come together, talk to each other again and, by pooling small separate orders, also enjoy better prices per kilo (for example with 20 kg packs).

In the 2022/2023 season we ordered a tonne of citrus fruit from “Orangen frisch nach Hause” in this way and were rewarded at the end of the season with a 5% discount on all orders.

Individual orders from Valencia

Exact availability, prices, varieties and shipping information can be found in the product overview. As part of the (supra-)regional supply project we can offer the prices direct from the plantation at a slight discount, with no delay and direct delivery to you.

Product overview

For years we have pointed to direct shipping from Ruth Palomero’s plantation in València, Spain. Depending on the season, you can order oranges, tomatoes, lemons, mandarins or avocados there directly from the plantation by parcel service, without intermediaries. It hardly gets fresher or more convenient. We have no financial interest in orders; we simply like to recommend it.
