Understanding Cold-Pressed Juice: What Makes It Special?

Liam O'Neil

Cold-pressed juice has become a buzzword among health-conscious Aussies, but what really sets it apart from other juices? At Refresh Juice, we’re passionate about delivering fresh, nutrient-rich beverages, and cold-pressed juice is at the heart of what we do.

Here’s what makes cold-pressed juice unique and why it’s a top choice for getting the most out of your fruits and veggies.

What is Cold-Pressed Juice?

Cold-pressed juice is made using a hydraulic press to extract juice from fruits and vegetables without heat. Unlike traditional juicers with fast-spinning blades, this method helps preserve the natural flavours, nutrients, and enzymes.

The result? A juice that’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and true-to-nature taste.

How is Cold-Pressed Juice Different?

Most juices on supermarket shelves are made using centrifugal juicers, which generate heat that can destroy some nutrients. Many are also made with imported concentrate from overseas and then reconstituted.

In contrast, cold-pressed juice is made slowly and without heat, preserving more nutrients.

Quick Tip: If a juice bottle has a "best before" date longer than 10 days, it’s likely preserved somehow or made from concentrate. Fresh cold-pressed juice has a much shorter shelf life.

True Freshness Matters

While the cold-pressing process is designed to retain nutrients, not all cold-pressed juices are created equal. Some brands pasteurise or process their juice to extend shelf life, which can reduce its nutritional value.

At Refresh Juice, we keep things fresh and natural. Our cold-pressed juices are raw, unprocessed, and free from unnecessary additives—just pure, nutrient-packed goodness.

Why Fresh Cold-Pressed Juice Tastes Better

Fresh cold-pressed juice captures the true essence of fruits and veggies. When you sip on our juice, you’re getting the natural sweetness, tartness, or earthiness of each ingredient.

Whether it’s the crisp bite of green apple or the zing of fresh ginger, you’ll taste the difference in every sip.

Is Cold-Pressed Juice Healthy?

Absolutely. Since it’s made without heat and minimal processing, cold-pressed juice retains more of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes found in fresh produce, giving you a nutrient-rich drink that supports overall well-being.

Health Tip: To maximise your nutrient intake, choose juices that include a mix of ingredients like leafy greens, citrus, and root vegetables.

How Long Does Fresh Cold-Pressed Juice Last?

Cold-pressed juice has a shorter shelf life compared to processed juices. Since it’s made without preservatives, it’s best enjoyed within 3–5 days. We work hard to deliver our juices at peak freshness so you can enjoy the full flavour and benefits.

Conclusion

Cold-pressed juice isn’t just a trend—it’s about quality, nutrition, and taste. At Refresh Juice, we’re committed to providing a delicious, nutrient-rich, and refreshing experience with every bottle.

Choose cold-pressed juice to enjoy a true taste of nature and support your healthy lifestyle.
