How to know if an orange is at its optimal point

We don’t have a secret formula at Dolsol Citrus to know if an orange is at its prime. If there is a job to do it’s very easy: try it. The answer to when an orange is gathered is relative. On one hand, it depends on the variety we are gathering. On the other hand, the colour doesn’t always guarantee it’s at its optimal point. That’s why to be sure that an orange is in its prime at Dolsol Citrus we either try it or perform an analysis of its maturity index. On occasions, because of its orange colour we think it should be ripe. However, the orange colour frequently appears before it has ripened. For this reason we draw upon the analysis. This way we find out its maturity index. In the event of tasting it, if it’s sweet we know it’s ripe. Because of the variety we normally know when it should be collected. Even so we refer back to our methods to guarantee that the oranges get to you with the best flavour.

How we harvest at Dolsol Citrus

Our oranges go straight from our trees to your house. By that we mean they don’t go through any refrigerating chambers and we adhere to the following method: 1) We make sure that oranges with an orange colour are in their optimal point. As in, they are sweet. On the contrary of other fruits, the orange is a fruit that matures on the tree.

2) We cut the oranges from the branches and we cut the leaf. We do this so consumers can see that they are fresh. Even though it is more tedious, it’s proof for our clients that they are buying fresh oranges and mandarins with a natural flavour.
