It is a highly integrated facility that encompasses every aspect of fruit processing, from receiving fresh apples and berries to packaging the final products. The plant is designed for both large-scale production and small-batch artisanal runs, giving us the flexibility to innovate and respond to changing consumer demands. Key features of our facility include:
Advanced Pressing Technology: We use a combination of traditional and modern pressing techniques, including gentle cold-pressing, to extract the maximum amount of juice while preserving the delicate flavors and aromas of the fruit.Sophisticated Filtration Systems: Our filtration capabilities range from producing crystal-clear juices to cloudy, unfiltered musts, allowing us to create a variety of textures and taste profiles.
