How do we
make our apple juice? We use a blend of English apples to produce a fresh very
‘appely’ tasting juice. After picking the apples are washed and any
'bad' apples removed. The apples are then milled
which shreds them into a coarse form, called a 'pomace'. This makes it
easier to extract the juice.
Layers of 'pomace' are then built up and held together
using cloths and separated by press boards. This is called a 'cheese'
and ensures even pressure throughout. The juice that is collected is
allowed to settle overnight to produce a natural often cloudy juice
which is ready for bottling.

As a safety measure the juice is filtered before
bottling. The juice is then gently pasteurised to ensure a long life. The resulting healthy drink produced has no
additives, added sugar or colourings.
Traditional apple
juice should have a distinct flavour of English apples.
This type of juice should be altered as little as possible after the
apples have been pressed. The juice is pasteurised to give
it a shelf-life of up to two years and prevent it fermenting
and turning into cider.
