The Nectar Co

The Nectar Co started small and has grown steadily over the last few years. We are a juice company that sells only the very best cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juices.To plan to eat well is easy but in today’s world, especially when you are busy with life it is harder to actually do that. That’s where The Nectar Co. comes in. When you don’t have the time to do it for yourself, we’ll do it for you.

At The Nectar Co. we make it easy for you to live a healthier life. Our raw, cold-pressed juices are made from locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables and are available to order now. We will never compromise on the quality of the produce we use as the best produce will not only be better for you but taste but better too! So a lot of the greens are grown on the farm at Windham Hill in Hilton (they grow food that is healthily, ethically and sustainably produced) so they can be picked and juiced straightaway and not hang around in a market and the other produce is as much as we can from local farms in KZN.

We also won’t compromise on how the juice is sold. We have decided not to use high pressure processing, or pasteurise in any form, or add any weird ingredients to add shelf life. All I want is the next best thing to eating a big plate of fresh delicious raw fruit and veg. and this is why the juices are pressed and frozen immediately so they arrive to you in perfect condition. Our cold pressed juice contains no sugar, additives, preservatives; in fact nothing apart from fresh fruit and vegetables and the vitamins, minerals and enzymes they contain. Most juice available to buy in shops and cafes is made with a centrifugal juicer which is thought to destroy many of the nutrients due to the oxygen and heat that occurs with this process. Cold pressing is a method that is used to juice fruit and vegetables that retains as many nutrients as possible. A slow spinning auger extracts the juice from the fibre resulting in the best quality nutritious, tasty juice possible.

I believe we should really be thinking about what put into our bodies as it is so important to our health both in the short and the long term. And juice is a really great way to get in loads of extra fruit and vegetables without even thinking about it. The number of health benefits is absolutely ridiculously huge. I’d need so many pages to list everything!
