Our last fresh oranges

By GAIA Redaktion 20 April 2018 Updated on 10 March 2023

Ruth lets you know that she can now offer a new late variety.

We are pleased to let you know that we will extend the season by a few weeks by adding a new variety known as Valencia Late to our range.

It is a medium-sized to small orange, smaller than the Lane Late or the Navelina. It is a very late orange and does not reach the quality of its predecessors, but it still has a personality of its own, with its slight acidity and a great deal of juice.

For those who still feel like eating fresh oranges in spring, we think it is worth trying, because you will find it much better than the ones from the supermarket and because, as always, it is not treated after harvesting.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VALENCIA LATE VARIETY (German)

For logistical and organisational reasons, from now until the end of the season we will only ship on Mondays.

Remember that a glass of orange juice in the morning helps you, among other things:

to reduce the risk of a heart attack, because it contains flavonoids,

to lower your cholesterol levels,

to improve digestion,

to prevent colds.

In all likelihood we will be harvesting the Valencia Late until mid or late May. Why not give it a try!

This week a delegation from the town of Jever (Friesland), Cullera’s twin town, visited our town. The journalist Cornelia Lüers of the newspaper Jeversches Wochenblatt has published the following article about our oranges. We hope you enjoy it!

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.
