The van Nahmen fruit press in Hamminkeln on the Lower Rhine produces it as 100% direct juice in a 0.75-liter bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Meadow Orchard Apple Juice by van Nahmen\u003c\/strong\u003e begins not at the press, but in the meadow. A meadow orchard consists of grassland with standard fruit trees that are widely spaced and often become very old. The apples for this juice remain on the tree for a long time and are harvested late. They go into the press as direct juice, meaning: the juice is freshly pressed, briefly heated, and bottled. What ends up in the glass is pure apple. In the morning at the kitchen table, the bread is sliced, the children are looking for their shoes: a glass of this juice fits perfectly into those moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Organic Meadow Orchard Apple Juice tastes fresh and natural, with subtle sweetness and a zesty acidity. The many heritage varieties provide a wide range of aromas. On the nose, the tasting note describes hay flowers, elderflower, and yellow-fleshed apples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is mild and fruity; the finish remains dry. The tasting note compares it to an off-dry white wine. Those accustomed to a particularly sweet apple juice will find it too acidic. Those who like apples with bite and acidity will find exactly that here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe juice is best enjoyed pure, at 12 to 14 °C, meaning slightly chilled. According to the manufacturer, it pairs well with crustaceans and seafood, chicken and turkey, and Asian cuisine. The tasting note mentions red Thai curry, scallops, and \"Himmel und Erde\" (Heaven and Earth).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHimmel und Erde is a Rhenish classic made from mashed potatoes, applesauce, and fried black pudding. A glass of apple juice with it picks up the apple on the plate. With pan-seared scallops, the acidity acts like a squeeze of lemon. With Thai curry, the juice cools the spice and adds fruitiness to the coconut milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter opening, keep the bottle in the fridge. The juice press advises finishing it within five days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the autumn, try cooking Himmel und Erde with fresh applesauce. Take the apple juice out of the fridge a quarter of an hour beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis juice is the centerpiece of a collaboration that began in 1994. At that time, Rainer van Nahmen developed a premium-price project for meadow orchard fruit together with the NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) and the district groups of Wesel, Krefeld, and Viersen. It started with 15 partners; today, according to the manufacturer, there are over 300. The suppliers are contractually committed to delivering only ripe, unsprayed standard-tree fruit. In return, the press pays them a significant premium. This makes it worthwhile for the owners to maintain their meadows, and the biotopes are preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe meadows are located in the Lower Rhine region and the Münsterland. There stand heritage apple trees that are up to 80 years old and bear old varieties. van Nahmen presses their fruit separately from other apples, which is how this juice was created. In 2024, the press in Hamminkeln celebrated 30 years of the meadow orchard project with a festival. The juice is organic (eco-control body DE-ÖKO-007) and, according to the manufacturer, vegan. What remains after pressing, the pomace, goes to local cattle farmers as feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis apple juice is for everyone looking for an honest, everyday juice who wants to know where it comes from.
