Este cultivo pionero se extendió rápidamente por la comarca gracias a un sistema de regadío alimentado por el agua del río Xúquer que convirtió antiguas tierras de secano en huertos fértiles
A lo largo del siglo XIX, Carcaixent y la comarca de La Ribera Alta del río Xúquer se consolidó como referente mundial en la producción de cítricos, asociando su nombre a la calidad y la excelencia.
El cultivo de la naranja supuso una verdadera revolución agrícola, transformando el paisaje y generando un gran aumento de riqueza en la economía de la comarca.
Actualmente La Ribera Alta y los municipios de Carcaixent, Alzira y La Pobla Llarga son el epicentro de referencia de los tradicionales huertos de naranjas, un paisaje único en el mundo.
El legado histórico de calidad en los cítricos es lo que define nuestra marca El Bressol Bio: en el origen de la naranja.
Although oranges used to be known in Asia and in muslim culture for their ornamental uses, the
history of sweet oranges begins in Carcaixent in 1781 with the planting of the first orange trees for
food and commercial purposes.
This pioneering crop spread rapidly throughout the region thanks to an irrigation system, fed by
water from the river Xúquer, that converted former dry lands into fertile orchards.
Throughout the 19th century, Carcaixent and La Ribera Alta region of the Xúquer established
themselves as a world reference in citrus production, associating their name with quality and
excellence.
Orange cultivation sparked a true agricultural revolution, transforming the landscape and
generating significant prosperity for the region’s economy.
Today, La Ribera Alta and the towns of Carcaixent, Alzira, and La Pobla Llarga are at the heart of
the region’s traditional orange groves—a landscape unique in the world.
The historic heritage of quality in citrus is what defines our brand, El Bressol Bio: at the origin of
the orange.
