Making Artisanal Apple Juice — La fabrication artisanale du jus de pomme

Step 1 — Drop the bags of apples in a large hollow container of a machine in which the apples will be washed and crushed.
Step 2 — The flesh from the apples is extracted and dropped on flat pieces of framed wood which is covered with pieces of jute fabric before placing another frame on top. They are compressed to extract the juice.
Step 3 — The apple juice is sucked into large containers through thin pipes.
Step 4 — It goes in a juice extractor so as to remove the impurities.
Step 5 — The juice is sucked again into another set of containers where it will be heated to 150 F (70 C), to provide un flash de pasteurisation (quick, light pasteurization).
Step 6 — At the other end of the process empty bottles are placed on a moving belt. They are kept warm by thin but strong streams of water projected on them, to avoid a large temperature difference between the glass and the warm juice. Without this step, the bottles might explode.
Step 7 — The bottles are filled one by one.
Once this is done, they are closed with a metallic cap similar to the ones used on bottles of beer.
The juice is left to cool and placed in crates.

It has a shelf life of about 4 years and is absolutely gorgeous
This process is often carried out in small local co operatives where fruit growers can take apples from their own orchards and have them made into a unique
blend.

Hi Graham!
Good idea, good take. Original colors.
Cheers!

Hello Graham,
This is a nice idea of showing the place, the opposite of a still-life with those colors and sunshine!
As it is a critique, I gonna be critiqual as well... The photo is overexposed at foreground so the apple is not as beautiful as it should be; I tried something for that on Photoshop but I was not successful... I think the frame would have been better with the whole bottle, not cropped at the top and with an enhancement of the shadows of the bottle and the glass. Well... this is my personal opinion !

Thanks for sharing :)

Marion
