The Aseptic Process is a gentler method of flash pasteurization for beverages. This process retains the natural flavors, colors and aromas of the beverage better than other common pasteurization methods using hot-fill technology.

Aseptic processing utilizes special equipment to form and fill a recyclable, multi-layered paperboard carton inside an enclosed, sterile environment where air is used to help sterilize each carton before it is filled. Our beverages are brought to a high temperature for a very short period of time (between 15-30 seconds) and then rapidly cooled before being filled at ambient temperature. This HTST (High Temperature, Short Time) process produces beverages that are shelf stable and do not need added any preservatives, resulting in delicious beverages with fresher flavor, brighter color and more robust aroma than other processing methods.
