Juice Craftsmanship: More Than Just a Beverage

True gourmet juice is produced following principles close to fine winemaking. Fruit is harvested only at optimal ripeness, and pressing is done gently to preserve vitamins, antioxidants, and, most importantly, the primary aroma. Our juices are free from artificial flavors, preservatives, or added sugar—just the pure taste of nature as intended.

Van Nahmen – The Sommelier's Choice

German producer Van Nahmen is famous for its philosophy that juice can be as complex as wine. Their range includes varietal juices (for example, those made exclusively from 'Riesling' grapes or specific heritage apple cultivars) that feature a unique balance of acidity and sweetness. These juices are frequently served in Michelin-starred restaurants as part of non-alcoholic pairings, as they expertly complement refined dishes and enhance the dining experience.

How to choose the best juice?

Depending on your needs, our assortment offers various styles of beverages:

• Varietal Juices: Designed for slow sipping, often served in wine glasses to allow the aroma to fully unfold.
• Gourmet Nectars: Made from fruits that are naturally too thick or tart for direct consumption (e.g., blackcurrants or rhubarb), maintaining the highest possible fruit concentration.
• Sparkling Juices: A sophisticated, festive alternative to sparkling wine, offering bubbles without the alcohol.

Food and Juice: Gourmet Pairings

High-quality juices, especially Van Nahmen’s grape or apple selections, pair wonderfully with food. For instance, crisper apple juices go well with rich cheeses, while dark berry juices perfectly complement dark chocolate desserts. Find a wide selection of accompaniments in our snacks section. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between not-from-concentrate (NFC) and concentrate juice?

NFC juice is simply pressed and pasteurized, retaining the natural fruit structure and nutrients. Concentrate juice is made by evaporating water and later re-adding it, which often results in a loss of the original aromatic complexity.

Is juice suitable as a gift?

Absolutely! Van Nahmen juices in elegant 0.75L bottles look sophisticated and make a wonderful gift for those who do not consume alcohol but appreciate fine gastronomic culture and high-end aesthetics.
