Why choose Fresh & Press?
We are one of the first to use a commercial grade hydraulic press in producing our cold pressed beverages. By using this machine, it guarantees the quality and hygiene of the end products, as minimal handling by hands is required. Whole fruits and vegetables are grinded into pulps then pressed with high pressure to extract the juice.
How long can I keep Fresh & Press juices and nut milk?
All our juices and nut milk do not contain preservatives. Although this can be stored longer than the date stated on the bottle, we recommend consuming it within 2 days after date of purchase. Since they are raw and unpasteurized, all juices need to be refrigerated (below 4 degree Celsius) at all times. Once opened, we recommend consuming it within 1 day.
