A family business that has been producing natural juices and related products since 2004, Keeling Juices has a well-earned reputation for quality.
Founder and MD Fred Keeling's family has a very long association with fruit farming in North Dublin, and pride in freshness, natural flavours and commitment to the environment seems to be in their genes.
The company produces a varied range of cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juices - including their terrific orange juices and the popular Pure Green health drinks like 'Beet Up', 'Liquid Lunch' and Ginger Tonic' - and what these 'free-from' products all have in common is a remarkable freshness of flavour.
Made from 100% pure juice and without preservatives, their secret weapon is a natural preservation method known as HPP (High-Pressure-Processing) which uses cold water pressure to safely kill harmful bacteria in fresh food. This keeps the juices fresh longer without heating (pasteurisation) or additives, so the natural flavours are retained.
The freshly squeezed orange juices, especially, are remarkable. Even though the shelf life may be a week or so, they taste and smell as if they have just been squeezed and have a really fresh, zesty flavour - and plenty of tasty bits in.
Keeling Juices is a member of the Bord Bia Origin Green programme, and their sustainability commitments include a commitment to a 10% reduction of energy use year-on-year and sourcing 80% of their produce from fruit and vegetable suppliers that have SEDEX and/or Global GAP accreditation, ensuring high standards for the growers and the land used for producing the crops.
They are also committed to local community projects, so this business is a great asset to the area.
But, best of all, they just make great juices.
