Tomato Juice With No Added Nasties
Frobishers is committed to using only the finest, all-natural ingredients. The tomatoes used in our juice are sourced from specially selected farmers in sunny Italy and Spain, ensuring that each bottle is filled with the freshest and most delicious mellow tomato flavour. It is also an excellent choice for those who are conscious about their health, as it contains no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavours, making it a healthier alternative to other commercially-available juices. Additionally, our Tomato Juice is gluten-free and vegan, making it an ideal choice for those with dietary restrictions.
Our Tomato Juicing Process
Some Tomato Juice can be a little watery. At Frobishers, we typically prefer a thicker consistency, which is why we source the best tomatoes from either Italy or Spain - our current season’s juice comes from Italy.
Tomato Juice is made by firstly removing the outer skin, this is achieved by either steaming or blanching the tomatoes before mashing. Once mashed the tomato is pressed, and them sieved to remove pips and stalks.
To ensure the safety of the product, Frobishers Tomato Juice the goes through a pasteurisation process to kill any harmful bacteria. This involves heating the Tomato Juice to a specific temperature and holding it there for a certain amount of time to destroy any potential pathogens that may be present. Once the pasteurisation process is complete, the tomato juice is quickly cooled to prevent any further bacterial growth, bottled, and then stored until it is ready to be distributed to our bottling facility.
This method preserves the natural sweetness and flavour of the tomatoes, giving the juice a wonderfully fresh and mellow taste. The result is a smooth and well-balanced juice that can be enjoyed on its own, over ice, or to take your cocktails and mocktails to the next level.
