How to preserve citrus fruits at home?

When we receive citrus fruits at home we want to keep them fresh and delicious as long as possible. To keep them juicy and tasty we must take into account:

  1. Right temperature: citrus fruits love to be cool, but not so much extreme cold. Storing them at room temperature is fine.
  2. Away from direct sun: Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight to prevent them from drying out or spoiling faster.
  3. In a ventilated place: Citrus fruits need fresh air to breathe. So, if you store them in a basket or in a place where there is good ventilation, they will be happier and keep better.
  4. Separate and alone: Citrus fruits release ethylene, a substance that can accelerate the ripening process of some fruits and vegetables. Best to keep them separate and avoid too much rubbing.
  5. Check and consume: Finally, don't forget to check your citrus fruits from time to time and consume them before they turn ugly. And if you see one that is already starting to look bad, consume it immediately; as well as those around it.

With these simple steps, your oranges, lemons and tangerines will be ready to be enjoyed at any time.

How long does it take for the product to arrive?

Spain: In the peninsula we deliver the products in 24 hours from the validation of the order and its delivery to the carrier. No product is sent on Fridays and orders received until 20:00 the day before are served.

In the Balearic Islands the delivery of the order is delayed 48h/72h due to transport needs.

In case of rain, deliveries are delayed until it stops raining and the field dries sufficiently. Otherwise, the product will be damaged.

We do not deliver in the Canary Islands due to cost and bureaucratic customs problems, unbelievable for the 21st century. The day someone decides to be sensible and fix it, we will sell also in the Canary Islands (islands that we love, by the way).

Europe: For European destinations (EU only), the normal delivery time is between 48 / 92 hours, depending on the country or island.

We serve almost all of Europe (EU only) such as Germany, Holland, France or Belgium.

We can not serve in some parts of Europe because of the excessive cost it represents. Contact us if you cannot place your order automatically and we will confirm service availability. In any case, we may reject the order if the system does not detect this incident, in which case we will notify you as soon as possible to proceed with the refund of the amounts paid.

If you still have any questions we will be happy to assist you at hola@citrusricus.com.

What are the delivery days?

Spain: Oranges are harvested and shipped the same day, Monday through Thursday (no product is shipped on Fridays to avoid them being stored over the weekend - they are best on the tree!) If you order from Thursday through Sunday, you will receive your order on Tuesday or the first working day after harvest.

In Europe, distribution takes several days, depending on the country of destination. Normal transit time is between 48 and 96 hours. You will have a tracking code where you can estimate the arrival of your order. If you have any doubts, please write to hola@citrusricus.com

We currently deliver anywhere in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands.

We also deliver anywhere in Europe (EU) such as Germany, Holland, France or Belgium. Please, if you have any doubts, contact us before placing your order. Send us a message to hola@citrusricus.com
