Orange Juice – 1L

Juice from Spanish Oranges by Alain Milliat

The 1-liter bottle of Alain Milliat orange juice is sweet, smooth, and elegant, and it has an intense aroma of juicy, fully ripe oranges that were carefully selected in Spain for this Alain Milliat orange juice to achieve a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity.

This brightly orange-colored juice will captivate you with its silky texture, freshness, wonderful orange aroma, and pleasant bitterness. Alain Milliat's orange juice, with 100% fruit content, is wonderfully refreshing with a few ice cubes and a popular aperitif when topped with Prosecco.

Oranges – Juice or Nectar?

Nectar, what a promising word, which in botany refers to the liquid that comes from flower calyxes, and in Greek mythology, the drink of the gods that bestows eternal youth and immortality. The European fruit juice regulation is less euphoric. It distinguishes between juice and nectar and allows for up to 20% of the final product in nectar to consist of sugar, and the fruit content, which can be fruit juice or fruit pulp, must be at least 25% depending on the type of fruit, thus ranking juice as higher quality than nectar.

But what does the fruit juice regulation matter to Alain Milliat? After all, using more good ingredients than the minimum requirement is not forbidden. Thus, his nectars consist of 40-50% fruit content.

We recommend enjoying Alain Milliat orange juice from a thin-walled or white wine glass so that the aromas can fully develop at a cool drinking temperature of 8-12 degrees.

Alain Milliat – the Passionate One

Alain Milliat, grandson and son of a farmer, and a fruit grower himself, took over the family business in Orliénas near Lyon in 1983. For 15 years, he respectfully tended to the land entrusted to him, growing the finest fruit, especially a particularly sought-after cherry variety. In 1997, Maison Alain Milliat launched the project to produce high-quality juices for gourmets. Alain sent the first six juices and nectars to 60 restaurants from the Relais & Châteaux guide and eagerly awaited the sommeliers' reactions to his creations. And they were enthusiastic. This brilliant idea allowed him to adapt the textures, sugar-acid balances, and colors of his juices to the needs of the restaurants. Driven by his success with the gourmet restaurants, with whom he still works today, the passionate one continues to develop new juices and nectars from special, hand-picked fruits that offer unique taste experiences. Today, Alain Milliat buys his fruits throughout France and beyond, always at optimal ripeness.
