Harvesting

Harvesting is done by hand and may sometimes be accompanied by the use of scissors or shears if the peel is too thin.
This way, we can ensure that the fruit remains intact.

Reception and

storage

During the reception phase, the fruit is checked and cooled in cold rooms or
by forced air to maintain freshness.

Selection

The machinery in Orchidea Frutta’s factories enables the products to be carefully selected and thoroughly washed before final packaging.

The operation also makes sure that unsuitable citrus fruits are not included in the delivery.

Packing

Once the packaging and pallet tying phase has been completed, the product must be stored in a cold room, pending loading onto the transport vehicle. The product must remain in the cold store for as short a time as possible in order to guarantee its freshness at all times.

The ideal temperature for storing and transporting the product should be around 0°C, particularly when shipping long distances (15 to 20 days), while it can vary between 2 to 4°C for shorter distances.
