How To Find A Commercial Juice Supplier

11/9/2020

0 Comments

 
When you are developing a new fruit-based food product or fruit juice drink range, it can be difficult to find an ethical, sustainable and trustworthy juice supplier to help with your product development.
This is why JC Dudley began their operations many years ago to provide food and drink manufacturers with the freshest, highest-quality and sustainably sourced food ingredients to help them achieve their goals.

JC Dudley has become the 'go-to' juice supplier for many leading food and drink brands in the UK and overseas because of our outstanding track record and history of forging strong working partnerships with all of our ingredient suppliers.

Fruit juice suppliers and more

JC Dudley supplies high-quality, sustainable and ethically sourcedfruit juice concentrates andNFC fruit juices directly to food and drinks manufacturers of all sizes from large, well-established brand names to small, independent start-ups offering a bespoke product with limited availability and scarcity to create a high level of desire from their customers.

While a lot of new food and drink entrepreneurs will look for the cheapest wholesalers to get started, they need to also consider the quality and consistency of supply for their product. It is not only price that is important when launching a new food or drinks brand.

However, after very little research most savvy entrepreneurs will come to realise that working in partnership with JC Dudley will actually work out more affordable for them in the long term. We offer a bespoke range of difficult to source fruit concentrates, juices and other ingredients such as oils, essences and dried herbs and spices that can enhance and improve the quality and uniqueness of a new recipe that you are looking to develop – and all these ingredients are available under one roof.

From popular to obscure juice extracts

While one of the most popular and well-known juice concentrates in the world is orange juice, growers will often focus on producing oranges over other less commercial fruit crops.

However, a new innovative drink developer wishing to launch a new range can take the somewhat humble orange juice concentrate that has been used for decades, and using modern blending techniques and unique ingredients, add to the taste and quality of this juice to create something entirely new for the drinks market.

JC Dudley is committed to producing and delivering fresh fruit juice and clean fruit products with the highest of standards for our commercial customers. If you are planning on bringing a new drink to market then you will need a juice supplier that you can trust.

Best quality juice supplier on the market

Because we have built up a strong working relationship with our international growers, we can assure our customers that we will only ever source and supply the highest quality fruit juice products available.

 We source from ethical and sustainable sources that help to support the growers and their families as well as help to preserve their local environment and the health of their soil.

JC Dudley is also well aware of the demand coming from end consumers for healthy, clean fruit ingredients, this is why we strive to help our growing partners to maintain the health of their fruit products.

Consumers want fruit juice suppliers and drink manufactures to use clean, fresh, high-quality fruit ingredients because they want to put their health first. Drinking fruit juice is a great way for consumers to get healthy doses of vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium, vitamins A and C etc.

Fruit juice concentrates can also be used to flavour and enhance many food products, such as ice cream, cakes, pies, sauces and fruit desserts. The freshness of these ingredients is paramount to deliver a good-tasting and desirable food or snack product. This is why you should source from a credible and trustworthy juice supplier such as JC Dudley.

Sourcing Natural Juice with No Added Sugar

13/1/2020

Sourcing Natural Juice with no added sugar from a trusted fruit juice supplier. These days, drinks manufacturers understand the importance of working with a commercial fruit juice supplier that can supply them with a consistent source of natural, no-added-sugar, juice ingredients for their drink products.
​

Moving Towards Natural Juice with No Added Sugar

The tide is turning in the soft drinks sector as consumers are increasingly moving away from hi-sugar, fruit flavoured drinks in favour of more natural alternatives using fruit juice with no added sugar or artificial flavourings, preservatives and colouring.
 
For a long time now, restauants have been offering healthier food and drink options for their more health-conscious diners, providing healthy side salads and fruit-based desserts instead of chips and stodgy puddings.
 
They are offering more fruit juices drink options instead of sugar-laden fizzy drinks with their children's menus, as well as fruit smoothies to help kids get their 'five-a-day'.
 

​Smoothies and juicing for health
Over the past few years, a growing trend for drinking smoothies and juicing fruit and vegetables at home has taken the health world by storm.
 
The rise in demand from consumers for a healthy and convenient on-the-go source of nutrition has led to drinks manufacturers creating a whole new range of natural, fruit-based drinks that will appeal to adults with little time to spend shopping for fresh ingredients and making smoothies or juicing fresh drinks every morning.
 
Creating drinks for the more discerning customer
While the idea of being able to simply shop for a ready-made fresh-fruit smoothie or juice drink is very appealing, especially for time-strapped adults and busy parents, when customers take a closer look at some of the drinks on offer, they will find a juice drink that is made with commercial fruit juice or concentrates that are not as healthy as they first think.
 
Many commercial drinks manufacturers will use fruit juice blends with added sugars, sweeteners and artificial colourings. However, these days of savvy health-conscious consumers, these ingredients can be off-putting because the customer will see their health being compromised and see no benefit in drinking them.
 
The high sugar, high-fructose and artificial ingredient content of ready-made drinks can make them unhealthy and can increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease.
 
When less is more
However, when you source your supplies through a trusted fruit juice supplier such as JC Dudley, you can buy a consistent, high-quality source of fruit juice that can make the base of your drink without any added sugar, artificial sweeteners or colourings.
 
Our modern techniques can deliver you with a shelf-stable range of fruit-based products that are ideal for producing smoothies or fruit-juice drinks for the more discerning consumer that are looking for minimal ingredients in their healthy drinks.
 
JC Dudley also produces a high-quality range of fruit-based ingredients suitable for cocktails, healthy fruit desserts and other food and drink items.
 
High-quality ingredients, ethically sourced
​
Made from 100% naturally grown fruit, our fruit juice concentrates and bases contain no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. We source directly from our chain of growers, helping to support their business ethically and sustainably to ensure they thrive and grow.
 
Our unique processing techniques mean that we can supply fruit-based ingredients that deliver maximum nutritional value full of vitamins, antioxidants, electrolytes and minerals.
 
JC Dudley is a family business that specialises in supplying food and drink manufacturers with a wide variety of cost-effective, healthy, natural ingredients that would be difficult, if not impossible, to source elsewhere.

Seven Top Drinks Trends for 2019

19/12/2018

0 Comments

 
When you are in the food and drink business, trends are always something to watch out for.  They are expert predictions about what is to come and can help you plan new products, offers and seasonal specials.  So what are the experts saying about drinks trends for 2019?

The Top Drinks Trends You Should Look Out For

Gut health boosts

As consumers become more aware of the connection between what they eat and drink and how their body works, drinks with clear benefits are gaining popularity.  One example is those that boost gut health. Kombucha, kefir and other fermented drinks have already established themselves alongside yoghurt drinks with ‘good bacteria’ – prebiotics and probiotics are going to be important for some areas of the drinks market.


Old and new fruit flavours

While there is always a thirst for something new, there’s strong evidence that the traditional fruit flavours will remain popular next year.  So that means your orange juice, lemonade and citrus flavoured drinks are all going to be popular and you can also add things like blood orange, yuzu, different types of lime and Meyer lemon to your range.


Sour flavours

Maybe it is all the hype about the dangers of sugar or that people are simply looking for something different but sour drinks are one of the top predictions for trends in 2019.  One example of this is kombucha which is a fermented drink with a tangy taste and a lot of health benefits that was one of the growing trends in 2018 and continues into next year.  Classic fruit flavours such as apple and pear as well as sour cherry can also do well under this trend.


Mocktails and low alcohol drinks

More people than ever are opting for alcohol-free or low alcohol options and that’s one that drinks suppliers can really embrace.  For example, if you work with a juice supplier to provide a range of juice flavours and sodas as bases for these drinks, you could definitely be onto something.  One report said that 67% of consumers in the US were more likely to drink something like this than a 100% fruit juice - and what happens in the US often happens over here.


Sparkling water

When companies like Pepsi create a new product in an area, there’s a good chance there’s a lot of demand for it.  Their new product ‘Bubly’ is a sparkling water in eight flavours that has no sweeteners or calories. This satisfies the urge for something bubbly but also helps to keep down sugar levels.  Creating flavoured sparkling water, therefore, looks like an interesting option for 2019. Look for both traditional flavours and new twists that will catch the eye.


Functional water

Alongside sparkling, the other water trend is known as functional water.  This just means that there’s something in the water that brings a benefit aside from just simple hydration.  Including vitamins, minerals, herbs and fruit juice concentrate are all examples, many of which are familiar.  Others are more complex such as increasing the hydrogen content in the water to counter inflammation or adding spices, oils or other flavourings to combat specific health issues or wellness topics.


Cold brew and iced coffee


Cold brew and iced coffee drinks are no longer just limited to the warmer months.  With many cafes and coffee shops not stocking the equipment to make these drinks, retailers offering ready to go options or products to make up at home can definitely satisfy the consumer’s urge.  From straight black iced coffee to drinks with flavours like vanilla or even added nitrogen for a creamy texture there are plenty of ideas out there and room to develop something a little different within this trend.
