The taste of mandarins ripened on the tree

This week we are still harvesting the early mandarin varieties we started the season with: Clemenrubí and Orogrós.

These varieties are currently at their optimum ripeness, and their flavour is not at all comparable with that of the mandarins you can buy in the supermarket at the moment. What is our secret? Actually it is no secret: our oranges and mandarins ripen naturally on the tree. They are harvested ripe, packed immediately and shipped the same day, without being stored in cold rooms or ripened artificially. So it is as if you were eating the mandarins fresh from the tree. In the coming weeks we will offer further products and varieties in our shop: first come the conventionally grown Navelina oranges. A few days later, our organically grown mandarins and oranges will follow. As soon as they are available on our website, we will of course let you know.

We look forward to seeing you in our online shop!

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.
