The Fresh & Pure Difference
Perricone's Fresh & Pure products come straight from the extractor. They're absolutely fresh, with no additives, no preservatives and no pasteurization to diminish the taste or degrade the natural nutritional value.
Few well-known national brands actually sell real, fresh-squeezed orange juice, contrary to what their advertising might suggest. In fact, many competitors have to pasteurize or flash-pasteurize their juices to compensate for a lesser adherence to good manufacturing practices. It can extend their product’s shelf life up to 60 days, but it robs their juices of their fresh taste, and can reduce nutritional value.
They may say their juice came straight from the orange. But only Perricone delivers on that promise. In this category—the category of Fresh & Pure—there's no competition. And that's the honest-to-goodness difference.
FDA Validation & Approval
Perricone orange juice is produced under such strict FDA health standards, it is not required to be pasteurized. Consequently, our 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.
Quality Control from Our Grove To Your Glass
At Perricone, we’re proud to be controlling. To achieve our consistently high levels of freshness, we have to be.
That's why Perricone uses fruit from its own orchards when possible, and carefully selects the oranges ourselves. Then, we extract, lab test, package and distribute our products using our company's own equipment virtually every step of the way. It's a feat that no other producer can match.
Owning our orange groves guarantees Perricone reliable access to high quality citrus for longer periods of time. And when our California groves are not in season, Perricone's own buyers - not outside sales representatives - directly negotiate with growers in active growing regions.
These other growers are no strangers. They are top quality producers with whom the Perricone family has established ties over the past 60 years. As a result, Perricone always has a ready supply of the best fruit available.
Before we purchase any fruit, Perricone's buyers overnight express citrus samples to Perricone's own lab for testing. Once tested and accepted, the fruit is cleaned and hand-sorted twice using zero tolerance before extraction.
To ensure a fresh, consistent taste, our oranges are lab tested onsite and blended according to their acid and sugar content. Then, within one minute of extraction, Perricone drops the temperature of its fresh-squeezed orange juice to 29°F. Microbiologically lab-tested again, the juice is then packaged and placed into refrigerated trucks for immediate delivery.
The whole process transpires so quickly, the juice on your table today may have come from oranges that were on the tree just the day before.
