Cítricos Siscaret
Our Fields
Citricos Siscaret is the result of generations of Valencian farmers who, after decades of cultivating the best citrus fruits, decided to bypass distribution channels to reach the end consumer directly.
Over 50 hectares are dedicated to citrus production, featuring a wide variety of oranges and tangerines that receive no chemical treatments for ripening, nor are they subjected to coloring or preservation processes, as we harvest them at their optimal ripeness. This guarantees their freshness throughout the season, giving an exclusive flavor and color to our culinary offerings.
This gastronomic experience will take place on our estates, a few kilometers walk from the villas.
Valencia, Spain
Corbera Valley
25 kilometers from the capital of Valencia, in the town of Corbera, known for its citrus tradition, you will find our Villas Monsalva and Villa Luz, where the oranges that will flavor the dishes of the gastronomic offer of “La Alquería del Azahar” are traditionally harvested in the surrounding area.
Corbera is born under the skirts of its castle of Islamic origin, called Qurbáyra. Built on an old Roman fortress, it was part of a Valencian defensive network that bordered to the west with Alzira and to the east with Cullera.

Varieties of Oranges and Mandarins
Our farms mainly produce three varieties of oranges, during the months of November to May.
Navelinas
These are the first oranges of the season and are usually ready for harvest, generally from mid-October onwards. They are very juicy and flavorful, ideal for eating fresh or juicing, and are also perfect for enjoying fresh in salads, fruit salads, or as an ingredient in various recipes and cocktails.
barberina
While not belonging to the Navel family like the others, it maintains the size and flavor, allowing you to enjoy the quality and freshness of the orange for longer. They are known for their sweet and juicy taste, with a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness that makes them ideal for dishes with fish, salads, and cakes.
Navel Lane
They are usually available from late January to May, making them a late-season citrus option. They are known for their balance of acidity, bitterness, and sweetness. They have a low limonene content, making them less bitter than other varieties in the Navel family, and are perfect for dishes such as meats and desserts.
