Modern breweries have picked up on the growing trend of diversification. Oregon Fruit Products, LLC is ramping up efforts to stay competitive and relevant in a market that’s constantly evolving. Their most recent innovation is an impressive line of Oregon Fruit Aseptic Concentrates. These concentrates are real fruit, aseptically processed for versatile use. Originally intended for fruited ciders, they’ve quickly found their place in the ready-to-drink category, also known as RTDs, and selected beers.
A Worthwhile Market
The introduction of these fruit concentrates is not for naught. The global cider market is on a steady upward trajectory, estimated to grow at 5.92% CAGR from 2018 to 2025. The predictions, if accurate, may herald a golden age in cider production, with a potential for a whopping $15.84 billion in sales in the US market alone.
Diversifying Portfolio
“To be successful in today’s market, breweries and cider makers seek to diversify their portfolios. For brewers, that means offering interesting, unique beers while branching into non-beers like seltzers and RTDs. For cider makers, it is important to deliver new flavors and styles of ciders,” said Chris Hodge, Director of Sales for Oregon Fruit Products. “Our concentrates help lower COGs and drive inspiration and excitement for new ciders, beers and other trending fermentation categories.”
A Small Yet Dynamic Portfolio
Starting with a small portfolio, Oregon Fruit Products’ Aseptic Concentrate line features mango, grapefruit, and lemon concentrates. Their attributes make them perfect for clarified beverages. Due to the absence of fiber in their composition, filtering becomes an unnecessary step.
Targeting the Fermentation Industry
With the introduction of these fruit concentrates, Oregon Fruit Products is cementing its place as a one-stop supplier of real fruit for the fermentation industry. The benefits of these concentrates are multi-faceted. They offer bold taste, mix well with other ingredients, are shelf-stable – thus creating savings, and come in easy-to-handle 5-gallon Bag in Box (BIBs) packaging. They can add potency to a variety of beverages and are particularly efficient when used in combination with Oregon Fruit Purees for top noting.
The brewery industry is always in need of innovative inputs, and Oregon Fruit Aseptic Concentrates have hit the mark. Offering a mixture of convenience, taste and cost-effectiveness, they are sure to be a hit among brewers looking to expand their portfolios and to deliver unique, exciting products to their customers.
