Jus (Apple Juice Producer) » Further Information

Jus single variety English apple juice is made from high quality apples. The apples can be dessert, usually medium to sweet in flavour; culinary, sharp to medium; or cider fruit. Varieties are always pressed separately.

The apples are milled and pressed as in cidermaking and then pasteurised in bottle to preserve the juice. Nothing is added to the juice, ascorbic acid is used as an anti-oxidant There is no filtering of the juice, which may be clear or cloudy, depending on variety and age of the apple.

Flavour changes slightly over the season, the later the apple is pressed in its season, the sweeter and usually cloudier the juice, hence tart apples picked later, mellow to become sweeter. Some varieties may be grown organically. The range of juices available varies as the season progresses. Some early juices may sell out quickly because they are from rarer old varieties so supplies are limited.

It is recommended that the juice is drunk within one year of purchase, although it will keep longer if unopened. After opening, keep in a refrigerator and drink within a few days.

We regard our juice as a high quality drink, which can be used where a non-alcoholic equivalent to a wine is required
