How to keep oranges at home
Valencia · since 1917
It has arrived.
This box was filled the day you placed your order. Until that morning, the fruit was on the tree.
It has not been near cold storage and it carries no wax and no post-harvest chemicals. The skin is the one that left the field, sun marks and all. So it asks for a little more care than the shop version, which is waxed to look its best on the shelf.
How we keep ours
- Take the fruit out of the box as soon as you can. It gets no air in there.
- Somewhere cool and airy, away from the radiator and the sun on the windowsill.
- Spread out rather than stacked. Where they press against each other, they bruise.
- If one goes off sooner than you expected, take it out, and do not worry: that is precisely the proof that there is nothing on it. An orange that sits in the bowl for weeks has had help after picking. Ours has nobody to ask.
- Ours do not go in the fridge. They last longer in there, but they come out with no scent at all, which rather defeats the point.
- Juice them on the spot. That part is not difficult.
Tell us how it went
What you write is worth more to us than any advert we could pay for. If you liked them, say so. If you did not, say that too: it is how we know what to fix.
If something is not right
«If anything arrives less than it should, we sort it out with no argument: replacement, credit or refund. You choose.»

A tree with your name on it
If you would like this to happen every season without having to remember, you can sponsor an orange tree in the grove. It carries your name, and its harvest and the shipping are included.
