 Interesting Information about Bolthouse Farms Carrots and more... Q. How long has Bolthouse Farms been around? A. The Bolthouse family began commercial vegetable farming in western Michigan in 1915. From the very beginning the company was known for quality and innovation. After more than 90 years of farming and distributing premium, fresh produce, we added a state of the art bottling facility in the fall of 2002. This new facility allows us to produce, not from concentrate, premium quality juice year around. Q. What is "Flash Pasteurization"? A. This process quickly heats the juice to kill any microorganisms, and then quickly cools the juice to a chilly 35 degrees all in a matter of seconds. It allows us to provide you with the safest, freshest and best tasting juice available. This unique form of pasteurizing our juice allows us to provide you with a safe product, without losing the wonderful fresh taste of the juice. Q. What is cold sterile filled? A. We use a patented cold-aseptic bottling process where, unlike most beverages, the bottles are actually made in a sterile environment just moments before they are filled. The room qualifies as a Class 100 Clean Room, ensuring that it is almost completely void of everything other than sterile air. Once made, the bottles are filled and capped within the clean room, ensuring the product is as safe inside the bottle as it was only seconds after it was flash-pasteurized. Q. Where is your juice made? A. We make our juice daily in our newly constructed state of the art bottling facility located in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Q. Where does your produce come from? A. All of our blended drinks are made with hand-selected juices that meet our strict flavor and quality specifications. They are the highest quality, single strength (not from concentrate) juices available, and they are quality tested daily. Q. Is your juice perishable? A. Yes! Our juice must be kept cold. Under normal refrigerated conditions, our juice can be safely enjoyed up to the expiration date printed on the bottle. (40 days from production) Q. How long will your juice stay fresh? A. Once the bottle is opened, our juice should retain its fresh flavor for approximately 7-10 days. Q. Is there any vitamin loss after the juice is made? A. Every nutrient reacts differently to heat treatment. Our flash pasteurization and cold sterile fill production method enables us to limit the amount of heat treatments during bottling, so you get the highest nutritional value, and freshest taste possible while still ensuring the safety of our product. Q. Where can I recycle your bottle? A. Bolthouse juice bottles can be recycled anywhere that accepts P.E.T. #1 plastics. Q. Where can I find your product? A. Bolthouse Farms beverages can be found in the refrigerated produce section of your local grocery store. Q. Are you going to have 16 oz. bottles available? A. Yes, we plan to launch a 450ml bottle (15.2 Fl. OZ.) in the spring of 2004. |
