We grow our citrus in San Priamo, on the banks of the Picocca river. We pick and pack it just a few hours before it leaves for your home.
In 1990 we left Belgium and moved to San Priamo. We had fallen for Sardinia, and the citrus of Muravera already had a fine reputation.
We planted our 10 hectares along the Picocca river, a perfect spot for orange trees. The soil, the climate and a lot of hard work did the rest: today we are proud of our fruit. Citrus is what we do best.
With this website we'd like to show you our everyday life and the flavours of this still unspoilt island.
The plantation covers 10 hectares of alluvial land along the Picocca. The silt left by the river over the years, the quality of its water and the sunshine give our fruit its flavour.
We farm it as a family, using the traditional methods of the area, a few kilometres from the sea.
“On the tree in the morning, at your home in the evening.”
We want people to discover the quality of Sardinian farming and its real flavours.
We are the growers: you deal with us directly, and the fruit arrives fresh.
We only sell local, seasonal produce. It goes from the tree to your door with no cold storage.
We choose every fruit by hand before packing it.
Navelina, Washington and Thomson. Juicy and sweet, for eating or squeezing.
One medium orange (150–180 g) covers nearly all of an adult's daily vitamin C, which comes in handy in winter. Its natural acids also help digestion: a glass of orange juice before a meal is a good habit.
They peel in seconds and children love them. Common clementines from November to mid-January, then Hernandina until the end of February.
Two clementines (about 100 g) already give you over 40 mg of vitamin C, plus calcium, magnesium and iron, for barely 50 kcal. They are very easy to digest, even for little ones.
Our lemons are untreated, so you can use the peel too, in cooking and baking.
Juicy, with a hint of bitterness.
Very fragrant, for jams, desserts or liqueurs.
A bit of everything in one box: oranges, clementines and lemons.
We pick the fruit when it's ripe, not before. Here is roughly when each variety comes in.
Depending on the year, everything can shift by a few weeks.
We pick the fruit after you order, pack it straight away, and an express courier brings it to you.
“On the tree in the morning, at your home in the evening”: we deliver ourselves, a few hours after picking.
Our daughter Valentine and Quentin sell our citrus in Belgium, in their shops in Malèves and Bierges and through some twenty stores in Wallonia, from November to April.
