Organoleptic characteristics
This box can contain a mix of our two varieties of peaches, depending on the day's harvest.
One variety has yellow skin and the other is red but both varieties are yellow-fleshed on the inside. This fruit is especially known for its pleasantly refreshing mouthfeel and sweet flavor.
Time of conservation
1 week in good conditions. Store in a cool place and remove them at room temperature before consumption.
It is a climacteric fruit, it is harvested when it reaches physiological maturity but continues to evolve until the point of consumption after harvest. It is normal that some of the fruits arrive hard so that you can take advantage of them for a longer period of time. You can keep them at room temperature in a paper bag with an apple or a banana until they reach the point of consumption. If a piece arrives already ready to eat, you can put it in the refrigerator or enjoy it on the spot.
Origin
Finca La Florentina
In 1986 Vicente Borras, professor of Phytopathology and organic farmer by vocation, started a personal project that has become one of the oldest and most emblematic organic farms in Spain: La Florentina.
That same year was born Gonzalo Úrculo, who in 2009 founded Naranjas del Carmen together with his brother Gabriel.
After several lunches and strolls around the fields, Vicente Borras and Gonzalo Úrculo came to an agreement so that the Masia el Carmen team would continue the management of their farm with the commitment of Vicente's help "as long as the body holds out". Since August 2023 we have been managing the 17 hectares of biodiversity that Vicente has been creating for 37 years. On this farm pomegranates, persimmons, kiwis, peaches, flat peaches and figs are grown surrounded by Mediterranean forest fences, amphibian ponds, a reservoir for auxiliary fauna, bats, etc.
