When your business needs a fruit juice supplier, there are many reputable companies to choose from in the UK. Which one you should choose will depend on your needs and what sort of product you are producing for market.

Most suppliers, such as JC Dudley will provide juice concentrates in the form of fruit or vegetable juices, syrups and purée for you to use in your own production processes, whether that be as an ingredient within a finished product such as a drink range, baby food, ice-cream range, confectionery items or for topical use in the cosmetics industry.

Juice Concentrate Production

The specialist processing machinery and processes used within our plant mean we can offer either a juice concentrate as a cost-effective bulk product for businesses to use within our own manufacturing system, or offer a finished product in-house on your behalf.

Many juice concentrate suppliers are equipped to provide finished products that are ready for market and that will include bottling and labelling facilities on site. This can be a very cost-effective way for a new company to test the market with a new product as well as trial new flavours and ranges with small test-runs and analysing results before committing to a major roll-out.

We can offer concentrates and juices from different sources, so if your chosen source should be UK grown fruit, or you prefer more exotic flavours from overseas, we will be able to assist you with this as we have our own established sources from around the world.

Other fruit or vegetable based products

Even if your business doesn't directly use fruit and vegetable juice concentrates, we can offer alternative fruit or vegetable based products such as canned whole fruit and vegetable production.

The increasing popularity of the consumption of sauces and condiments have seen some juice manufacturers diversify their production line to produce things like Guacamole, chilli pepper mash and other savoury pastes and purée's for an ever-hungry market of consumers.

Concentrates such as this are not just for use in the food and drink industry. For centuries we have used raw fruit and vegetables extracts to not only add flavour, but to also add fibre, texture and pleasant aromas to a whole range of cleaning, health and cosmetic products.

If you are thinking of starting a business where sourcing fruit and vegetable concentrates would be involved, then it is worth contacting us directly on 01494 792839 to discuss your needs and to see if we can assist you with your new product development ideas and trial production runs.

As importers, stockists and distributors of Sicilian Lemon Juice in both the not from concentrate (nfc) and juice concentrated formats for many years, JC Dudley & Co Ltd look to supply  manufacturers who use this unique supply base for the food and drinks industry. From Sicilian Lemonade, salad dressing to a natural ph control in food dishes , the products have a wide range of uses. 

Sicilian lemons are grown in the foothills of Mount Etna, the lemon plants find the perfect equilibrium of the natural elements and resources: the richness of the earth, the climate where the sun and the rain are in harmony, and time flows slowly permitting the fruit to ripen in the warmth.
It takes a lot of patience to care for the citrus plants with the first fruit maturing about six years after grafting and the complete maturity reached after 10 years.  The lemon tree will continue to produce fruit for several decades.

Recent studies show that Lemons have a high Vitamin C content, an element that helps in the prevention of heart attack, stomach tumours and to reduce the effects caused by smoking.
Lemons have a wide use in cooking and are well-known for their preserving and anti-oxidising properties.

At the same time the organoleptic and chemical-physical characteristics, thanks to the mild Sicilian climate, are unique. 

Historically, in the past centuries, the region of Sicily was the first to cultivate lemons.  Today, there are many other countries that cultivate lemons, often larger quantities, but Sicilian lemons are deemed to be superior in taste, aroma, colour and in their organoleptic characteristics to other sources. The main crop normally starts in November and ends in April, and this season was late due to the cold blasts that ventured into southern Europe in January. There was snow across Southern Italy and across Sicily which was highly unusual.  The main crop started in earnest towards the end of February, the cold weather having seemingly only delaying the crop, and volume and quality of the fruit should be unaffected. 

JC Dudley can offer a wide range of Sicilian Lemon from audited and approved suppliers who they have dealt with for many years.  If you have any enquiries, please contact sales@jcdudley.co.uk.
