My name is Vicente, we are a Spanish family business who growing and selling online organic oranges and tangerines. If you let me I would like to tell you an anecdote of my life.

I was living in London for a few months, the first to be there to buy some oranges from Valencia in Sainsbury's. Oranges had good color and bright, but it tasted awful. This is normal as the oranges that are sold in supermarkets have cut free from 30-60 days. All this thanks to cold storage and chemical treatments.

Since then I always had in mind the idea of how could the people of England, France, Germany...eat an orange with the same flavor as those like me, natural and fresh straight from the tree, This is what we do now, from the tree in five days at your home.

In Spain it is common to buy fresh oranges and tangerines from the farmers in their online stores, but it is costing much people outside Spain we know and understand the benefits of buying oranges and tangerines directly to the farmer, without intermediaries or post harvest chemical treatments....organic and fresh.

What do you think of the idea?

Sorry for my English

My husband LOVES good oranges and I agree it's hard to get them in England. So I think shipping in great oranges is a brilliant idea. I had an idea of how this could work for you. We have an organic veg and fruit box delivered to us every week from a company called the Cambridge Organic Food Company (COFCO), most of the produce is from local suppliers but a few are from Spain, Italy, etc. I would suggest making links with companies like COFCO for your distribution in England. I'd add oranges to our box!

Hi.

Vivavida Gourmet is ideal for small international very specialized gourmet distributors, restaurants, hotels and directly for the final gourmet consumer who will be able to buy the best oranges from his home knowing that they will be in 48/96 hours from the tree to his table.

At the time we receive your order, our team collect the oranges and tangerines from the tree and put them into the box that will be sent to you. We collect the oranges picking them one by one to send to you the best and freshest fruit.

Once collected, we call the courier company to collect the order and take it to your place. No fridge, no chemical treatments: all natural and organic to enjoy the authentic flavour.
In 24H, if you are in Spain, and 3 or 6 days if in Europe.

In my user profile you have the address of my website. It is the online store if you want information.

All the best.
