Product details:
The Kidd’s Orange Red is a dessert apple, similar in size to a Cox but redder, with sweeter juice and a greater complexity and depth of flavour.
Maynard House Orchards’ latest heritage juice joins the rest of the apple juice range including the Apple & Raspberry, Apple & Elderflower and the Cox & Bramley varieties.
USP:
Until recently, the Maynard House Orchards Kidd’s Orange Red variety has been available only at The Fat Duck in Bray, but it is now being offered in 240ml bottles to luxury restaurants, hotels and bars across the UK.
As with all Maynard House Orchards’ juices, the Kidd’s Orange Red variety is made from hand-picked apples which are pressed, pasteurised and bottled on-site to produce a high-quality cloudy juice.
Cost:
Maynard House Orchards’ Kidd’s Orange Red flavour is priced at 99p a bottle, delivered into the city.
Availability:
A ‘small batch’ of Kidd’s Orange Red is available now in 240ml bottles which can be purchased by calling 01284 388680 or visiting the Maynard House Orchards website at www.applejuice.uk.com/shop
Why should you buy it?
The complexity of flavours offered by this heritage juice makes an interesting and non-alcoholic alternative to wine and beer when matching with food.
“My grandfather brought Kidd’s Orange Red back to Britain in 1931 as he felt that the flavour of the fruit was exceptional,” explained Clive Williamson, owner of Maynard House Orchards Apple Juices. “Once he returned to the UK he bought his first thirty acres of Orchard in Langham in Essex.
“This variety is very important to the Maynard House Orchards heritage. We will have capacity for around 4,000 bottles of Kidd’s Orange Red and we plan to plant more of our specially bred saplings in the coming years when the climate and soils are perfectly right for new growth.
“The planting of more Kidd’s Orange Red trees will not only continue an honoured family legacy but it also really does make a truly exceptional tasting apple juice variety!”
