MAJOR FRUIT JUICE BRANDS<br />
FEEL THE PRESSURE FROM COLDPRESS.<br />
It seems the big fruit juice brands are getting a little<br />
hot under the collar.<br />
You could, of course, put this down to the heat<br />
generated by the archaic pasteurisation process that<br />
they still use to make their juices.<br />
Or you could put it down to Coldpress.<br />
Because, being cold pressed rather than heated and pasteurised,<br />
Coldpress juices and smoothies, launched in 2011 in their distinctive<br />
hexagonal bottle, retain more of some things than their pasteurised<br />
rivals: things like more taste, more vitamins and more antioxidants.<br />
Not only that but, because you’ll need to drink considerably less<br />
Coldpress juice than conventional pasteurised juices to get your daily<br />
quotient of lovely essential nutrients, you’ll need to take on board<br />
rather less of a couple of less desirable things too.<br />
Namely sugar and calories.<br />
So it’s hardly surprising that, for some of the biggest names on our<br />
supermarket shelves, the competition really is hotting up.<br />
Life is sweeter with less sugar.<br />
Because, as we’ve seen, with Coldpress less juice really is more, the cost of<br />
getting your daily fix of vitamins and antioxidants will be significantly reduced.<br />
As, of course, will your intake of sugar and calories.<br />
Because of concerns over sugar, public health recommendations stipulate<br />
that we should drink just 150ml of juice to get our five-a-day. But with<br />
Coldpress orange juice, for example, that 150ml would deliver 90% NRV<br />
of Vitamin C, one of the vital antioxidants that fights those rascally free<br />
radicals, compared with just 41% NRV for some pasteurised equivalents.<br />
It’s fair to say that unnecessary sugar and calorie intake is a ‘hot topic’ right<br />
now. As hot as that tired old pasteurisation process, you might say!<br />
Of course, as everyone’s well aware, there are naturally occurring sugars in<br />
fruit. But premium juices make an important contribution towards meeting<br />
our five-a-day needs, in particular our daily dose of Vitamin C, and other<br />
beneficial nutrients like folate and thiamine.<br />
And if we can reduce the sugar and calorie levels in our fruit juice, it really is a<br />
‘win, win’ for us all.<br />
Or in the words of Andrew Gibb: “In the war on needless sugar consumption,<br />
we see it as our responsibility to take a strong moral lead, championing a<br />
new era of juices that work harder and smarter.”<br />
Flavours with more flavour.<br />
DRINK LESS, BENEFIT MORE.<br />
So....more goodness all round, then, but how<br />
much more is ‘more’ exactly?<br />
Well, a whole lot more as it turns out.<br />
The problem is, though, that, while they would love to<br />
explain in glowing detail how Coldpress is cold pressed<br />
to hold in significantly more nutrients than leading<br />
brands of conventional pasteurised juices, our ludicrous<br />
food health and nutrition laws prevent them from telling<br />
the full story. Suffice to say, though, to secure your<br />
80mg recommended daily intake of Vitamin C (NRV)<br />
you only need 167ml of Coldpress Valencian Orange as<br />
opposed to between 250 and 363ml of some of its big<br />
name pasteurised rivals.<br />
Because Coldpress is cold pressed, not pasteurised, and retains the authentic taste of the<br />
fruit, Coldpress juices and smoothies come in a range of single varietals, each with its own<br />
very distinctive flavour.<br />
Which means that, with Coldpress, customers can choose from Golden Delicious and Pink<br />
Lady apple juices instead of merely from ‘apple’ and....er...well.....’apple’.<br />
As Coldpress founder, Andrew Gibb, explains: “ Pasteurisation might be a highly effective,<br />
heat-based treatment for preserving fruit juice but it’s also a heavy-handed, antiquated<br />
process that will remove any fruit’s delicate ‘top notes’ and aromas and significantly<br />
reduce the levels of essential nutrients. In other words, with Coldpress you get more<br />
vitamins, more antioxidants and more flavour because no heat is used in our process.”<br />
ONLY THE BEST FRUIT<br />
(AND VEGETABLES) WILL DO.<br />
Because Coldpress juices and smoothies retain more of the flavour than their<br />
pasteurised rivals, selecting the best possible fruit is especially important.<br />
As Andrew explains: “Making cold pressed juices with high pressure<br />
processing is very unforgiving. If you process really good fruit, it tastes<br />
really good, but the opposite also applies. This is why partnering with<br />
farmers with a ‘no compromise’ mentality has been at the heart of our<br />
ongoing success.”<br />
In addition to its full-bodied smoothies and head-turning fruit blends, this<br />
is also, of course, true of the company’s ’new generation’ veggie juices,<br />
jam-packed with fibre, Vitamin A and iron, that remind us just how flavourful<br />
top-notch vegetables can be.<br />
To end on a final word from Andrew Gibb:<br />
“Once again our ingredient-friendly process allows us to raise the bar in<br />
terms of taste and nutritious density by enabling our veggie juices to be<br />
exactly what they claim to be and not some fruit-based hybrid juice with<br />
only a light trace of veggie input.”<br />
It’s fair to say the pressure’s really on for conventional fruit juice brands. And<br />
right now it really is Coldpress who are doing all the pressing.<br />
Available from Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, The Co-op and Ocado.<br />
