About Our Products  

Frequently asked questions:

Is the produce freshly picked or cold-stored?

Our oranges, tangerines, lemons and grapefruit are not cold-stored. They are picked as soon as your order is received and then shipped, so that they reach you in perfect condition.

Are any kind of chemicals applied to the produce after picking?

No. We use no chemicals for ripening or cleaning. The oranges ripen on the tree. That’s why they taste as fresh and sweet as they should. They are picked and shipped to you with no additional chemicals at all.

What is the real weight of the fruit making up an order?

The real weight is the weight indicated on our website, i.e. without including the weight of the packing material used.

Does the price quoted include VAT and shipping charges?

Yes. There are no additional costs. You can pay by PayPal or credit card.

How should I keep the oranges once they have been delivered?

Oranges keep well in a cool room for two weeks or more. Do not keep them in a warm, poorly ventilated room. If you keep them in the fridge they will last much longer, but you should expect them to lose some of their sweetness and natural charm.

Can I freeze oranges?

You can freeze peeled orange segments to be added to cold drinks or tea, yes. Only bitter oranges should be frozen whole, if you are intend to use them later for cooking. A handy tip is to keep a container with orange peel in the fridge to be used in the kitchen.

Is your produce organic?

No, our produce is not classed as organic, but we comply with all the EUREP standards, the key features of which are: Food safety and protecting the environment; improving controls of the use and distribution of pesticides; reducing harmful active materials, including non-chemical ones; and encouraging reduced or zero pesticide use.
