NATURAL FRUIT JUICES
What is Cold-pressed, Unpasteurised Juice?
It is the juice obtained using a special method of extraction called cold-pressing. Unlike conventional juicing methods, which use heat or centrifugal force, cold pressing presses fruit or vegetables without generating any heat. This method helps to preserve the natural flavours, colours and nutrients contained in the product.
Fun Fact About Cold-pressed, Unpasteurised Juice
Did you know that cold-pressed, unpasteurised juices are often referred to as “living juices”. The nickname comes from the fact that the juice is made from fresh and live fruit and vegetables, which are known for their enzyme, vitamin and mineral content.
Production Steps
The production of cold-pressed, unpasteurised juices usually involves the following steps:
Harvesting
Selected fresh and ripe fruits or vegetables are carefully prepared for juicing, ensuring high quality and taste.
Instructions
The produce is thoroughly washed and, depending on the specific juice recipe, may be peeled or de-seeded.
Cold pressing method
The prepared products are placed in a hydraulic press, which applies gentle pressure, extracting the juice without any heat or oxygen. This method helps to preserve nutrients and flavour.
Bottling and packaging
The resulting juice is immediately bottled and packed in airtight containers to preserve freshness and quality. The use of refrigeration or a freezer may be necessary to increase the shelf life of the juice.
