The 'Valencia' orange is one of the most popular citrus fruits, and fresh orange juice is a staple on many breakfast tables. This fruit is rich in vitamin C, but it also has many other beneficial effects. It is full of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals, thanks to which regular consumption of oranges can support the body in the fight against harmful free radicals, and its antioxidants can help prevent certain chronic and cancerous diseases.

Producer information

Orange, excellent quality

The Seville orange tree was introduced by the Romans, who planted it in the city thanks to their travels. Due to the unique conditions of our land, the Seville orange is a benchmark in quality and taste, and according to experts, the best in Spain (which is why Valencian exporters buy oranges from Seville). The growth of our company has been based on oranges to this day. We offer more than 10 varieties throughout the year for 6 months. We have selected the best varieties for each season to maintain our quality standards. Our earliest variety is the Fukumoto (Early Navel), followed by the Navelinas, Navel, Navelate, Navel Foyos, Newhall, Salustianas, Lanelates and Ultralates (Navel Powell and Chislett).

How do we harvest?

Harvesting is one of the most important processes for the fruit, and good harvesting means a better product. That's why every producer associated with Iberhanse carries out this step with care and passion. To determine when the fruits are ripe, they observe their color and gently press them to check the firmness of the fruit. The early hours of the morning are the best for harvesting citrus fruits and stone fruits, avoiding extreme temperatures. It is very important not to let the fruit rest, as this can lead to rot during storage.

Storage

store in a dry, cool and dark place.
