Why Twisted Alchemy?
It is as simple as our tagline. We press. You pour. Twisted Alchemy® provides the Hospitality Industry a true craft solution never before offered: hand-squeezed fresh, cold-pressed juice designed specifically for the Industry. If you are squeezing in-house, you are incurring labor costs, food safety liability, waste and varying prices—all of which Twisted Alchemy eliminates. You either choose shelf stable mixers that can sit on a shelf for who-knows-how long and sends your customers out the door with stomach pain. OR it’s the challenge behind managing and making fresh bar mixers in-house. Seasonal fruit variation, various skill and effort from staff, balance, consistency issues…the list goes on.
What is HPP?
High Pressure Processing is a cold pasteurization technique which consists of subjecting food, previously sealed in flexible and water-resistant packaging, to a high level of hydrostatic pressure (pressure transmitted by water) up to 600 MPa / 87,000 psi for a few seconds to a few minutes. To learn more about the HPP process, you can watch this video.
How does HPP work?
HPP is an external process. The raw, final product remains untouched.
Picture this: After the juice is bottled, the bottles are placed into a pressure chamber filled with cool water for approximately 60 to 120 seconds, where they are subjected to elevated pressures (the equivalent of being submerged 20 miles beneath the ocean floor) from all directions to the outside of the bottle, starving off oxygen that in turn inactivates harmful, pathogenic bacteria. without a loss of sensory of quality or nutritional value of our juices!
How is HPP different than “heat pasteurization”?
Other terms for traditional “heat” pasteurization you may see on labels such as “flash” or “gently pasteurized” refer to the use of thermal technology that essentially COOKS juice by exposing it to high temperatures in order to achieve microbial inactivation and, in doing so, also kills off vitamins, minerals and live enzymes. Twisted Alchemy does not and will not ever use heat pasteurization. By subjecting your favorite orange juice or kale mint celery smoothie to ultra-high pressures, pathogens, like salmonella, are given the 87,000-psi boot! Unlike thermal pasteurization that strips juice and beverages of their nutrients, enzymes, and probiotics, our pure cold-water process retains all the good stuff.
What is the shelf life of your juices?
Our cold-pressed juices have a shelf life of up to 180 days from the time it undergoes high-pressure processing (HPP) during production. Your juices will be delivered to your home or bar with at least 30 days of shelf life remaining on them (see the code printed on the bottle for best by date) and you have an additional 30 days beyond the printed date. As long as they are kept refrigerated, this applies to both opened and unopened bottles. You may extend shelf life by 1 year if you wish to by freezing the juice. Enjoy!

Why have we chosen to use PET plastic versus other packaging materials?
Because of the high pressure environment that our bottles are put under, we must use a rigid-enough material. 87,000 PSI of pressure precludes us from using glass, aluminum or paper, so we must currently use plastics. We have chosen PET plastic for his beneficial environmental and performance qualities. Here is more information.
