Food Review #48 Evolution Fresh Orange Juice

Cold-pressed juice seems to be the biggest trend for juice for 2013. I decided that we needed to review some of them! Evolution Fresh, one of the largest (if not the largest) companies in the sector seemed like the perfect candidate for this.

Evolution Fresh bottled beverages are made from real fruit and vegetable juice. Fresh‐picked, and nutrient-rich. Evolution Fresh fruits and vegetables are squeezed and pressed fresh, bottled cold, never heat pasteurized and without any artificial flavors and colors to bring a fresh‐picked flavor and more nutrition in every sip. Evolution Fresh is one of the few major juiceries left in the industry that still cracks, peels, presses and squeezes its own raw fruits and vegetables. After cold pressing and squeezing the fruits and vegetables, an innovative technology called high pressure processing (HPP) retains more of the flavors, vitamins and nutrients of raw fruits and vegetables without the use of heat, Evolution Fresh is one of the only juiceries using this innovative process. Evolution Fresh bottled juices can be found at 4,000 Starbucks and grocery retailers across the U.S, as well as the four Evolution Fresh stores in Washington State and California.

I found it fitting for our first Evolution Fresh review that we review their Orange Juice. I love orange juice, and it is one of my favorite juices.

The packaging is very interesting. First off, the bottle is a 450 ml (15.2 ounces) rounded rectangular shaped bottle. The cap is very easy to open, and the bottle is a great size for on the go; it also fits easily in the average cupholder. On the top of the cap there is a sticker that reads "Perishable keep refrigerated". On the front of the label, the very cool-looking Evolution Fresh logo is emblazoned. Another thing I like about the packaging is the label; the side of the label tells you how many different kinds, and how many of each kind of fruit or vegetable used in the drink. Evolution Fresh Orange Juice has the juice of five oranges in each 15.2 ounces (450 millilitres) bottle.

Prior to drinking this juice, please bear in mind that you have to shake the bottle before drinking to have the proper taste of the juice.

Alright, let's get to the taste!

You might expect this orange juice to taste just like normal orange juice. But, it doesn't; it's completely different, and much better.

Even just by looking at the bottle, the juice looks just like fresh-squeezed. But, this juice tastes exactly like homemade, fresh-squeezed orange juice. It does have pulp, and I usually despise pulp but I like it in this orange juice. It tastes fresh, crisp, and delicious. It has a great consistency that is not too thick and not too thin.

I love this orange juice.

I must say, this is one of the best, most delicious, freshest-tasting orange juice products on the market. I highly recommend this product, and I would definitely buy this again. This product is a high-quality product, just like it's parent company's (Starbucks) are. Evolution Fresh will be a mainstay in my fridge for many years to come.

Overall, Food Review #48 Evolution Fresh Orange Juice gets a 10 out of 10! This orange juice is one of the best I've ever had, and I highly recommend it! Evolution Fresh juices are currently available in 12 states, and will soon be available in even more. For information on where to buy, go here.
