The absence of added sugar also distinguishes it, allowing the natural sweetness and acidity of the apples to come through.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, keep the juice refrigerated. It is best consumed within a week to maintain its fresh flavor. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve the quality of the juice. Store upright to minimize the surface area exposed to air.
