What is orange juice concentrate?
Orange juice concentrate is essentially natural orange juice with a significant amount of the water content removed. Six times stronger than a regular juice, it’s also much smaller in volume, making it more convenient and cost-effective to transport.
Once it reaches its final processing destination, the water can be re-added to bring the orange juice back to its regular strength.
Despite this additional processing, orange juice from concentrate still retains much of the fruit’s impressive nutritional profile, as well as its distinct flavour and colouring.

FAQs
How is Orange Juice Concentrate made?
Orange juice concentrate is made from oranges in a process that removes most of the water content, leaving behind a concentrated orange juice syrup or paste. In this form, it has an intense flavour and is a thicker product that is much easier to store and transport.
How long does orange juice concentrate last?
Orange juice concentrate can be stored in a fridge for up to six months if unopened, or frozen for up to a year. Once opened, it should be used within seven days.
What are the benefits of using orange juice concentrate?
Using orange juice concentrate from Kiril Mischeff has many advantages. For one, it is much more economical than buying ready-made juices, and it retains a higher level of vitamins and minerals compared to fresh oranges, which are lost when exposed to heat and air. The concentrate is a good source of vitamins and minerals.
Is orange juice concentrate just for drinking?
No, orange juice concentrate can be used in many ways. It makes a great addition to cooking and baking recipes due to its intense flavour, as well as adding sweetness and moisture. It is also great for making smoothies, marinades, sauces and other drinks. To use it, simply mix the orange juice concentrate with water to create orange juice.
