The orange you order today is still on the tree
It’s picked the day we prepare your order and leaves Albalat de la Ribera straight for your door. That’s why there are seasons: we don’t sell what isn’t at its best.

How it works
You place the order
You choose from what's in season. If you want several things in the same box, tell us in the order.
It's picked that day
Your box doesn't come out of a cold store: it's cut in the field the day we prepare the order, with no wax and no treatments.
It reaches you in 24-48 h
It leaves Albalat de la Ribera straight for your door, with no warehouses or distribution centres on the way.
What's in season?
We pick to order, so the catalogue changes with the fields. It’s November right now: pick a season and see what’s being cut.
The late oranges — Lane Late, Powell and Valencia Late — are the juiciest of the year, and Clemenvilla closes the mandarin season in May. From the market garden, artichokes and Chinese cabbage carry on and the first aubergines arrive. The orange trees blossom.
Valencia Late closes the orange season in July and the market garden takes over: aubergines, Italian frying peppers, hot peppers and butternut squash. August is the only month without citrus: mandarins return in September.
The season starts: mandarins from September, Persimon persimmons from October to December and the first Navelina oranges in November. The summer vegetables carry on until October, and Chinese cabbage and roasting pumpkin come in.
The height of the citrus season: Navelina and Salustiana oranges and Clemenules and Clemenvilla mandarins, with the cold nights concentrating the sugar. Persimmons bow out in December; from the market garden come artichokes, Chinese cabbage and squash.
What's in season each month
The fields decide: every fruit has its months, and outside them you won’t find it here.
Cut when you order
Your box hasn't spent weeks in a cold store: it's picked the day the order is prepared. That's why there are seasons and why we don't have everything all the time.
At your door in 24-48 h
It leaves Albalat de la Ribera and reaches your door with no warehouses or distribution centres on the way. The less it travels, the better it arrives.
No wax, no treatments
Nothing is applied after picking. The peel may not be perfect and sometimes a leaf turns up: that's the sign it comes straight from the field.
Straight from the people who grow it
You buy from the growers of the Ribera del Xúquer, with no middlemen. What you pay stays in the fields, not along the chain.
Is this your first box?
Oranges and mandarins in the same box, picked the day you order them.
Fifteen kilos to try both without having to choose. It’s picked the day we prepare your order and, if anything arrives in poor condition, you write to us and we sort it out.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
The usual questions
When will my order arrive?
The fruit is picked the day we prepare your order and leaves Albalat de la Ribera for your home. Delivery takes 24-48 hours, with no warehouses or distribution centres on the way.
Why don't you have everything all year?
Because we pick to order and keep no fruit in cold storage. Everything has its months: you can see them in the season calendar on this page. If something isn’t in the shop, it’s because it isn’t at its best.
Can I order several things in one box?
Yes. There’s the mixed box of oranges and mandarins, and on any other order you can tell us in the order notes how much of each you’d like.
The peel has marks and there's a leaf in the box — is that normal?
Yes, and it’s a good sign. We apply no wax and no treatments after picking, so the peel may not be perfect and a leaf sometimes arrives with it. It’s freshly picked fruit, not polished fruit.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. For now we don’t reach the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla.
And if something arrives in poor condition?
You write to us and we sort it out. We work with fresh produce and the journey sometimes takes its toll: if something doesn’t arrive well, we replace it or refund you.
