Món Orxata, S.L. (World Horchata) is a company located in Alboraia, Valencia, which is responsible for the "Món Orxata" carts that promote tiger nuts and natural horchata with their Designation of Origin in Valencia’s most important streets and sites.

The idea of selling traditionally-produced horchata from mobile carts comes from an early 20th century tradition, which died out after progressive industrialisation in the ’50s and ’60s. Each day horchata producers from the towns and villages around Valencia would come into the city with their donkey-drawn carts to sell fresh horchata, tiger nuts and barley water.

Thanks to our hard work, enthusiasm and a shared dream, this group of young people, farmers and horchata producers who make up the company have brought back this tradition and the horchata in our carts is cooled just as it was 100 years ago, with ice, so we don’t need to consume energy or emit gases to cool our horchata.

Our aim is to restore the historical, agricultural, gastronomic, commercial and tourism status of tiger nuts and traditionally-produced horchata that we believe it deserves as a star product of our huerta (the horticultural land around Valencia) raising awareness of the cultural traditions on which it is based and its excellent nutritional benefits.

All the tiger nut we work with at Món Orxata comes from Valencia’s “Horta Nord” and it is covered by the Guarantee of Origin Tiger Nut from Valencia. We have agreements with many traditional and ecological farmers, as well as with artisan “chuferos” with whom we agreed to purchase crops at fair prices that allow farmers to live with dignity in the cultivation of tiger nut.

As for the horchata, we make it each morning in Alboraia, Valencia, following traditional methods consisting of crushing the tiger nuts and straining off the juice that they produce. The resulting horchata is deep and grainy and tastes of age-old market gardens. It can be kept in refrigeration for just 3 days, but it offers nutritional and medicinal properties (unlike industrial horchatas).

Apart from tiger nut and horchata we have developed a pioneering range of alternative products derived therefrom such as horchata soaps, body oils, pastries made with tiger nut flour, tiger nut and almond nougat, dressings, spreads…

As far as sales are concerned, we do not sell to third parties, as we only sell our natural horchata in Món Orxata carts and at our “Orxata Coffee Shops”, at the Tiger Nut and Horchata Museum (Museo de la Chufa y la Horchata) in Alboraia and through our Online Shop.

A special mention should be given to the horchata sellers who accompany our carts, a team of about 40 women who not only represent us in the streets of Valencia, but are also the soul of "Món Orxata". These women, who are determined, good-natured and hard-working, are bringing back that warm, human manner that was traditionally typical of market stallholders.
