Fresh Kumquats, (2 lb)

No kumquats this year in FL, so these are a wonderful treat. Perfect condtion and arrived early for me to make my special Kumquat Cake for an event!!!

Expensive, but worth it.Not a disappointment as others have been that are cheaper. Every piece was fresh, clean, just waiting to be popped into your mouth! Can't put a price on that.

If you have ordered these in the past these are not the same quality. This link used to connect to incredible product. Not sure if it’s a bad crop year or suppliers have changed but zero care was taken in packaging or product selection. A third was rotten, a third was unripe, and a third was passable for marmalade but not for eating. There was one small piece of paper lining the bottom of the box as protection and the box was inside a plastic envelope. In years past the product would be ripe and firm and there would be ample paper shreds surrounding the fruit to protect it. I’ve order half a dozen times over the years. Very disappointing for the price.

Was skeptical buying online, but really glad I did. They were flavorful and honestly the perfect size for a quick snack. Wish there would have been more, but seeing that I was unable to find any at local stores felt like it was a good value and great quality. They have stayed fresh and I already have a second order placed!

Great seller as all deliveries have been timely and perfect. Delivered quickly and in amazing shape. High quality and fresh. Delicious treat as always.

I ordered from this "seller" - Melissa's - twice. The first package arrived in pristine shape, having been packed in a standard box that one can get from the USPS. The second order arrived in a box that looked like it had been reused, and it was definitely bounced around a bit - even though it said "Fragile", one end of the box stoved in. The fruit in both was good. But the fruit in the first box was literally intermingled with branches and leaves! The second box was only fruit, although it needed more cleaning. None of the fruit was rotted, so far it's tasted wonderful, and since I cannot get kumquats locally, I will take these over nothing any day of the week. My thought is that Melissa's contracts with individual growers to fulfill their orders, and then the individual grower actually fulfills the order - especially since the return addresses on the boxes were different. This could account for the differences that other customers are noticing in the quality of the produce they are receiving. The thing is, if you adore kumquats, and you cannot buy them in your local grocers? This is definitely a deal! And I do adore kumquats.

EVERY SINGLE KUMQUAT was fresh and delicious! My Valentines gift to my husband, the kumquat maniac. I’m not a kumquat enthusiast, but even I thought these were tasty, and enjoyed the balanced combination of sweet and sour. Best batch we’ve ever bought. Will definitely buy again next year!

I had previously purchased a 2 pound box of these kumquats and they were GREAT, so after we ate those, I ordered the fruit again. It was TERRIBLE! Almost all were green and I tried to eat a few of them and they so sour I had to spit fruit out. Then I found a few, VERY, VERY few that were almost completely yellow. To my dismay they tasted like sour poison. I mean really terrible. So then I googled and found out that kumquats, when picked, are as ripe as they will ever get and so my hopes of ripening the fruit was hopeless. Well, I waited maybe 4 days with high hopes that my google search was wrong, but in fact the only difference after the ripening attempt were fruits that had become moldy. So basically I spent over 30 dollars for an inedible product. The ONLY way you should purchase from this company is if they send you a money back guarantee that thefruit will be at least edible. As I said, the first box I bought were wonderful; the second order was as far from the first as you can get. So if you’re willing to gamble more than 30 dollars, go for it and hope you’ll get a good box of fruit instead of the terrible ones I got.
