When most Valencias have come and gone, Odwalla is still able to juice from local oranges at their peak ripeness. Odwalla supports growers who use restorative practices. The length of time we expect our juice to maintain its flavor and nutrient integrity is based on extensive testing. Because we minimally pasteurize our juice, the shelf life is typically limited to 20 to 30 days depending on the product. I noticed an Odwalla bottle in my refrigerator was swollen.
Fresh juice undergoes a natural process of fermentation.
Providing the highest quality fresh juice is expensive. Sourcing the best ingredients, the requirements of our production cold distribution systems are crucial factors in maximizing freshness, nutritional integrity and great taste. Our juice is food. It takes about two pounds of fresh apples to make a pint of our apple juice. About 26 oranges are squeezed into a half gallon of our orange juice.
