Frequently Asked Questions about Organic Oranges from Spain

Where do Quiero Naranjas oranges come from?
Our oranges come directly from our own fields in Valencia, Spain. We are farmers and sell without intermediaries, directly from the grower to the final customer. This guarantees maximum freshness, quality and full transparency.

Are Quiero Naranjas oranges truly organic?
Yes. Our organic oranges are officially certified and supervised by the Valencian Organic Farming Control Authority (CAECV). Our certification number is CV-3702-PV. All organic products are clearly labeled as such in our online shop.

What is the difference between organic and conventional oranges?
Organic oranges are grown without chemical pesticides, herbicides or waxes. Conventional supermarket oranges are often harvested unripe, stored for long periods and treated with preservatives. Our oranges ripen naturally on the tree in the sun and are harvested only after you place your order.

When are the oranges harvested?
Our oranges are harvested only when they reach optimal ripeness, often on the same day they are shipped. This ensures full flavor, natural sweetness and high juiciness.

How long do the oranges last?
With proper storage, our oranges usually last more than 14 days. We recommend removing them from the box upon arrival and storing them in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, but not in the refrigerator.

Which orange varieties do you ship?
We always ship the variety that is in season and at its best flavor:

• Navelina: November to February
• Navel Lane Late: February to May
• Valencia Late: May to July

The exact dates may vary slightly depending on weather conditions.

What is the difference between table oranges and juice oranges?
The main difference is size. Table oranges are larger and ideal for eating fresh, but they are also excellent for juicing. Juice oranges are smaller and easier to squeeze. There is no difference in quality or taste.

Do you deliver to the United Kingdom and other countries?
Yes. We regularly ship our oranges and citrus fruits to multiple European countries. Orders are shipped directly from Spain to ensure maximum freshness upon delivery.

Why do oranges bought directly from the farmer taste better?
Because they are not stored for months. Our oranges ripen on the tree, under the Mediterranean sun, and are harvested only after your order is placed. This results in a richer flavor, natural sweetness and high juice content.

Can I buy directly from the farmer at Quiero Naranjas?
Yes. Quiero Naranjas stands for organic oranges directly from the farmer, without intermediaries. You buy straight from the grower in Spain – transparent, sustainable and fair.
