Product Introduction
Tart cherry juice concentrate is a highly concentrated form of juice derived from Montmorency tart cherries, a variety recognized for its bright flavor and numerous health-promoting properties. The juice is produced through a careful extraction process that retains the rich phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in the fruit. This concentrate is appreciated not only for its robust tart flavor but also for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant properties and support for joint health, making it a favored choice among consumers looking for natural dietary supplements.
Production Process
The production of tart cherry juice concentrate involves several key stages. First, ripe tart cherries are selected, washed, and de-stemmed to prepare them for processing. The cherries are then mechanically crushed to extract their juice, which undergoes gentle heating to separate the solids from the liquid. This juice is then further concentrated through evaporation under controlled conditions to remove excess water while preserving its integrity and maximizing flavor. The final product is filtered to ensure clarity and packaged for distribution.

In the beverage industry, it is often diluted with water or used as a base for smoothies and cocktails. It's also a popular ingredient in baking, adding flavor to pies, cakes, and pastries.
