How is the Cherry juice Concentrate Made?
As the name suggests, this is the drinkable, liquid concentrate. Simply mix ounce of cherry concentrate with water to make a glass of 100% pure cherry juice.
To make the cherry concentrate, the cherries are pressed. Once the cherry juice is collected from the pressed cherries, it is then concentrated by a low heat evaporation process. The concentration process is a slow and time-consuming process.
This unique approach helps to ensure our concentrate is only sediment-free cherry juice concentrate in the entire cherry juice industry.
It takes the juice of approximately 100 cherries to make just one ounce of our cherry juice concentrate.

How can your cherry juice be the only cherry juice with a sediment-free guarantee?
Sedimentation is caused in cherry juice from several reasons. These may include:
- Using older cherry juice concentrate that been in storage for years
- Using an inferior bottling process
- Using plastic bottles – We only use glass bottles to prevent plastic leaching
- An inferior shipping and store methods
You don’t have to worry about any of those issues with our cherry juice concentrate.
I have found other cherry juice that is cheaper? Why is that?
It could be due to:
1: The product is a single strength juice rather than concentrate. Here is a cost comparison for cherry juice and cherry juice concentrate.
2: They may be using imported cherries from China, Turkey, etc. These are usually available at a cheaper price, but you don’t know the growing procedures, processing procedures, etc. Check the label to see if they are using 100% USA Grown Montmorency Cherries.
3: The concentrate may be diluted. 68 brix concentrate is the highest amount. Ours is 68 brix. This is basically a measurement of the natural sugar in the products. We don’t add any sugar to our cherry juice, but like all fruit is does contain natural sugar.
4: Check for sedimentation. Sedimentation is a thick residue that builds up on the bottom of the bottle. It may also look like a pinkish cloudy formation near the bottom, too.
This occurs when the cherry juice breaks down or is from an older crop. No worries about sedimentation with our cherry juice. We are only cherry juice company to offer a sediment-free guarantee.
