Fresh Squeezed, Squeezed Fresh - What's The Difference?

Easy. "Squeezed fresh" is a marketing misnomer. The oranges are indeed fresh when they're squeezed - as all oranges should be. How the juice is treated after squeezing has no bearing on the "squeezed fresh" designation.

Preservatives, concentrates, sterilized pulp and other additives can be mixed in as an afterthought.

Most brands also pasteurize or flash pasteurize their juices to extend shelf life up to 25 days and compensate for lesser adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices. These processes rob juices of their fresh taste and can reduce nutritional values by more than 35%.

"Fresh-squeezed" juice like Perricone's, on the other hand, comes straight from the extractor. With no additives, no preservatives and no pasteurization to diminish the taste or degrade the natural nutritional value.

Perricone orange juice is produced under such strict FDA health standards, it is not required to be pasteurized. Consequently, its juices are so fresh and nutritious, they are often sold on ice in produce sections instead of on refrigerated shelves.
With this high level of freshness and purity, Perricone is fully certified year-round as Kosher for Passover.

Contrary to the advertising by well-known national companies, few of these brands produces a real, fresh-squeezed orange juice

Though these companies may market their juice as if it came straight from the orange, only Perricone delivers on that promise.
And that's the honest-to-goodness difference.

How is it that Perricone's can deliver it's juices so quickly?

By owning its own groves and delivery fleet, Perricone is able to expedite deliveries and ensure distribution - both mission critical for the production of fresh-squeezed orange juice.

How can I be absolutely sure that Perricone Juices Safety Standards are the highest in it's class?

Perricone's demands superior food safety standards. This is the secret for the best tasting juices possible.

There is only one reason why Perricone is able to produce the freshest, best tasting orange juice available: Perricone's food safety standards are world class.

From training and certifying all employees in food safety standards to cleaning extraction equipment daily - a procedure surprisingly not practiced by all extraction companies - Perricone takes every proactive precaution it can to set the bar in food safety standards. Which is precisely why Perricone fresh-squeezed orange juice - unlike so many other producers' juices - requires absolutely no FDA warning labels.

Fact is, Perricone was one of the first fresh juice producers in the United States to comply with the FDA's regulations for Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (sSOP), that support the Validated 5-Log Pathogen Reduction Process.

Perricone was also one of the first companies to meet the FDA's requirement for demonstrating a Validated 5-Log Pathogen Reduction Process, a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Plan (HACCP), and a Contingency Plan For Initiating And Effecting Product Recall.

Today, Perricone stands poised to become the first fresh orange juice producer in the world to receive the internationally prized ISO-9002 designation.
