Embracing Single Variety Apple Juice: What Makes It Special

At Druce’s Juices, our single variety apple juice is crafted from one specific, locally-grown English apple per batch. Each variety has its own distinctive flavour, sweetness, and cloudiness. Because we embrace seasonality, there may be subtle variations from one harvest to the next—that’s the beauty of truly authentic juicing. By focusing on single varieties, you taste the unique character and terroir of each apple, something that blends simply cannot replicate.

Our Juices: From Orchard to Bottle

We produce a range of juices:

• Apple juice—pure, single variety apple juice made from hand-graded, English apples.

• Apple cider vinegar, rich in natural acetic, lactic, citric and malic acids, packed full of beneficial goodness. Check it out here.

• Berry-based fruit juices, in smaller bottles, offering seasonal flavours and vitamins with a crisp, distinctive taste.

All products are safely pasteurised to the highest standards, preserving flavour and ensuring quality.

Health Benefits of Single Variety Apple Juice

Our single variety apple juice delivers real nutritional value:

• Rich in phytonutrients: Apples contain polyphenols like quercetin and catechins, known for antioxidant properties that support heart and metabolic health. A UK-based study showed flavonoid intake correlates with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. (See British Journal of Nutrition 2015.)

• Hydration and natural sugars: A refreshing option with natural sugars, vitamins like C and potassium—which help replenish electrolytes.

• Gut-friendly: While juice lacks apple-fibre, it still contains soluble pectin, supporting digestive health by assisting natural bowel movement.

For more extensive health-wise uses, many reputable health websites and nutrition resources discuss benefits of apple juice and cider vinegar without overstating claims—always balance juice intake with whole fruits for fibre.

Sustainability at the Heart of Our Business

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s the essence of Druce’s Juices:

• Our orchards have been chemical-free and unsprayed for at least 30 years, encouraging a healthy ecosystem.

• We nurture biodiversity: preserving nettle clumps, spacing trees thoughtfully, allowing mistletoe to stay, and introducing bird and bat boxes.

• Apple pomace doesn’t go to waste—it’s fed to appreciative pigs on the neighbouring farm.

• We offer bottle returns—cleaned and re-used—plus cardboard labels that reduce plastic backing and can be re-used when in good condition.

• Bottle lids are fully recyclable, and our juice travels short distances: sold at Bath farmers’ market, Xero Waste shops in Clifton Village, Nailsea and Portishead, local farm shops (see our stockists), or delivered directly—minimising food miles.

• We store our bottled juice in wooden apple crates dating from pre-1971 (with their original 1d deposit!)—repaired, patched, and standing the test of time.

Creative Ways to Use Single Variety Apple Juice

Here are a few ways to enjoy and use our single variety apple juice beyond sipping:

Breakfast or smoothies

• Mix 100 ml of juice with yoghurt, berries, and oats for a vibrant morning smoothie.

• Try freezing apple juice into popsicles for a fruity, natural treat.

Cooking & baking

• Use as the liquid component in cakes, muffins, or apple-flavoured bread—adds natural sweetness and moisture.

• Poach pears or apples in juice with a cinnamon stick and a little lemon zest—serve warm with yoghurt or cream.

Relaxing drinks

• Warm gently with a slice of ginger for a soothing autumn or winter beverage.

• Create a refreshing spritz: 75 ml apple juice, 25 ml sparkling water, a dash of lime.
