Citrus · October – June

Oranges

Five varieties, one after another, so there are Greek oranges for your shelves from October to June.

Our oranges

Graded and packed in our own house in West Greece

Our oranges are graded, packed and labelled at our IFS Food certified packing house in West Greece, and kept in PLC-controlled cold rooms until they ship, so every pallet leaves ready for the shelf.

Fukumoto opens the season in October and Navelina follows in November; Navel and Lane Late carry it through the winter; Valencia takes it into early summer. Our citrus goes to customers across Europe, mainly in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
