Real Pressed vs. Cold Pressed: What’s the Real Difference?

You’ve heard the hype around “cold pressed” juice—but what what about Real-Pressed?

We care deeply about how your juice tastes, how it nourishes you, and how it's made. Our Real Pressed juices are made using a time-tested method called low-heat pasteurization, or flash pasteurization. It’s quick, gentle, and designed to preserve both nutrients and flavor—without compromising on safety or shelf life.

So, what makes Real Pressed stand out?

Cold pressed juice skips heat altogether and relies on high pressure (HPP) to kill bacteria after bottling. While trendy, it has a short shelf life, a higher price tag, and flavor that can change quickly.

Real Pressed juice, on the other hand, uses a fast burst of low heat to lock in the taste of fresh-picked fruit while keeping your juice safe and lasting longer in your fridge. No preservatives, no added nonsense—just juice the way it should be.

Why we do it this way:

  • More vibrant flavor that tastes like it came straight from the orchard

  • More accessible pricing thanks to better efficiency

  • Longer shelf life without sacrificing nutrition or quality

We don’t chase trends. We chase taste. Because when you’ve been farming organic since 1994, you learn how to do things the right way.

Taste the real difference.
