Olive oil with your orange order

By Ruth Palomero 8 March 2023

Combine olive oil with your orange orders

We are pleased to inform you that we have expanded our product range once again. You can now swap one kilo of oranges for one litre of extra virgin olive oil – both in our boxes of conventional oranges, with which we will send conventional olive oil, and with organic oranges, to which organic oil will be added. The extra virgin olive oil we offer is produced by an agricultural cooperative in the mountain region of Alicante, about 70 km from our fields, and has won awards at international competitions for its high quality and authenticity.

We decided against packaging in glass bottles, as there is too high a risk of them breaking in transit. For the time being we will use packaging made of PET plastic (BPA-free) for shipping until manufacturers offer us a more sustainable solution.

We would like to encourage you to compare prices. We have spared no effort to keep prices constant throughout the season, despite the large price increases we are continuously subject to because of inflation in the costs of materials, energy and transport.

Our commitment is to continue offering high-quality products at competitive prices.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to place an order. We are happy to help you with anything you need.

We thank you for your trust in our products and hope to remain your supplier of choice.

Thank you for your trust in us, and greetings from Cullera

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.
