The Liquid Fruit team preselected 120 juices from a total of approx. 1200 different apple juices. Subsequent blinded testing finally produced 12 juices which were presented to the experts at IFW 1999.
A clear majority of testers voted for Rainers juice from apples manufactured by thy company Rodacher Fruchtsäfte GmbH .
By awarding this special prize the International Fruit Juice School intends to show how new ground can be broken in the production of higher quality fruit juices. In future, the prize will be awareded on a yearly basis, also to address quality-conscious consumers. The testing included both direct juices and juices from concentrate as well as clear and cloudy juices.
