About us
Bilpin is known as "Land of the Mountain Apple". Fruit orchards and beautiful gardens thrive in the fertile soil and the road is lined with small fruit stalls, especially during summer. Bilpin Apple Juice has been well known in the area and indeed throughout Sydney for over 35 years. Our juice is a blend of various types of apples, creating its own unique taste, and as any apple juice drinker would tell you "it tastes like apples!"
Our product is 100% juice with no preservatives, no added sugar, no added water, and most importantly, NO CONCENTRATES. We are proud to say it is 100% Australian, made with fresh apples grown by Aussie farmers.
How we make our outstanding product.
Firstly we crush the apples in an apple press & then store the freshly crushed juice in large tanks for 2 days to allow the sediment to settle.
Next we filter the juice through many fine filters to make it crystal clear.
It is then heated to 80 degrees to pasteurise the juice. We then seal the juice. This procedure makes our product shelf stable for 6 months as long as the vacuum isn’t broken. Thus making our product not only healthy, but also easy to store & deliver from a distributor's point of view.
Once the juice is opened it needs to be refrigerated.
4 generations of history
First starting in a shed out the back of a picturesqe orchard in the hills of bilpin. Hand delivering to the buisnesses and orchards in the local area. Then taken further abroad around the sydney basin up around the blue mountains and katoomba area by Louis and Caroline.
Fast forward many years, In 2023 The Silm family took over from Louie and Caroline Agius who had been nurturing the buisness for over 35 years.
We are now proud to say the juice is made on a 4th generation orchard using apples grown from the hills of Bilpin and surrounding areas. Great care it taken to use a blend of apples to give the freshest taste possible, however becasue there are no added sugars, flavours, colours or preservatives there will often be a slight variation in the product from batch to batch.
That's just part of letting our natural side show.
