Fresh fruit and vegetables from Valencia: from the field to your door, no warehouse in between
Buying fresh fruit and vegetables online directly from the grower isn't a gourmet indulgence — it's common sense. Fruit that reaches your table without middlemen spends fewer hours out of the field, needs fewer treatments to survive the journey, and has more flavour than the supermarket can afford to offer. At CitrusRicus, seasonal fruit and vegetables are harvested to order and travel to anywhere in Spain within 24 hours.
Beyond citrus: the best of the Valencian huerta
Valencia is not just oranges and mandarins. The Valencian huerta produces avocados with a creaminess you won't find in imported fruit from overseas, kiwis that ripen on the tree instead of in a shipping container, artichokes cut in the morning and dispatched in the afternoon, and pomegranates and persimmons whose exact ripeness can only be achieved with patience and sunshine.
Every product in this selection follows the same rule: it's harvested when it's ready, not when it suits the warehouse. When a product's season ends, it disappears from the shop. We don't force nature and we don't fill gaps with mediocre fruit.
Fruit and vegetables delivered to your door: how it works
You place your order. That same day or the next, Guillermo selects your fruit directly in the field. It's packed without wax, without post-harvest treatment, without passing through any cold storage. It leaves by refrigerated express and within 24 hours it's at your door — on the Iberian Peninsula. For the rest of Europe, between 3 and 6 working days.
No middlemen. No warehouse. No cold-treatment-wax-fluorescent chain that turns good fruit into fruit that merely looks like good fruit.
Five generations: only the best makes the box
The family behind CitrusRicus has been working the Valencian soil for five generations. What started with citrus has expanded into a carefully curated selection of fruit and vegetables that meet one requirement: being worth the journey. If it's not up to standard, it doesn't make the box. As simple as that.
