About Us:
Press’d Juice is a fast-growing small business which prides itself in creating the highest quality taste conscious cold pressed juices. We researched long and far to develop the right techniques and ingredients that would bring great Aussie fruit and vegetables together, with their fabulous flavours still shining through.
After many trials, we found cold pressing and High Pressure Processing techniques are the only ones that provided the quality we were after. This resulted in a range of cold pressed juices that taste deliciously raw and fresh with a sustainable shelf life. It also has the added bonus that our method retains superb nutritional qualities that are lost with other juicing procedures.
