Directly pressed versus concentrate: what’s behind it?

As a pioneer in the field of naturally cloudy juices, we attach great importance to clarifying the essential differences between direct juice and juice made from concentrate. Due to the significant differences in quality between these two variants, it is important to us to provide in-depth knowledge about fruit juices.

Quality not quantity:

Have you ever wondered why some juices taste so much livelier and are more nutritious than others? The key lies in the manufacturing process. In the world of fruit juice, two main players are in the spotlight: directly pressed juice and concentrate juice. While directly pressed juices are celebrated as heroes of a healthy diet, concentrated juices often fall through the cracks when it comes to quality and health. Let's explore together why straight juice is the superior choice for your health.

Natural production – the path to direct juice:

When you enjoy a sip of directly pressed juice, you taste the pure essence of the fruit. This juice is pressed directly from carefully selected, ripe fruits. The fresh juice ends up in the bottle without detours and without long storage times. Light pasteurization protects the juice from spoilage and at the same time preserves the valuable ingredients. The result is a juice that not only pleases the palate, but also gives your body what it needs - as if you were picking and squeezing the fruit yourself directly from the tree.

The process of making concentrate juice – a consistent taste:

When producing concentrate juice, the freshly squeezed juice is subjected to an intensive heat treatment to remove the water. What remains is a thick concentrate that has a long shelf life and is easy to transport. During bottling, this concentrate is reconstituted with water, flavors and colorings. This procedure not only sounds unnatural, but it is! Important, heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes do not survive this process, and the original, pure taste of the fruit is lost. This creates a fruit juice that has only slight flavor nuances and therefore has a standardized taste.

Taste and nutritional value – Not all juices are the same:

A real directly pressed juice is like a melody of nature - full of nuances and rich flavors that only nature itself can compose. The color is vibrant, the taste intense and authentic. Concentrated juice, on the other hand, is often only a weak imitation of it's self. To compensate for the loss of taste and color, flavors and colorings are added. While directly pressed juices offer a full spectrum of natural antioxidants and vitamins, concentrated juices are usually only part of what real fruit juice can be. The taste of the directly pressed juices can therefore sometimes vary slightly because in nature different weather conditions prevail every year, which can influence the ripeness of the fruit and thus also the aroma.

Health benefits – your clear victory with directly pressed juice:

Directly pressed juice is not only a pleasure for the senses, but also a booster for your health. The vitamins and antioxidants naturally occurring in fruits are good for your body. Concentrated juices often cannot offer these benefits because the manufacturing process destroys many of the valuable ingredients. With directly pressed juice you are making the smart choice for your health and well-being.

Invest in your health

It is obvious that directly pressed juice is superior in terms of taste, nutritional value and health benefits. So the next time you're faced with choosing your juice, remember the clear differences between directly pressed and concentrate juice. Invest in your health and choose directly pressed juice for an optimal taste experience and well-being.
