FORT PIERCE, Florida/May 4, 2010 – Mom certainly knows best when it comes to feeding her family. So when Marygrace Sexton couldn’t find a fresh, all natural orange juice to feed baby Natalie, she decided to make her own. Now 20 years later, the amazing taste of Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice continues to win national accolades. Good Housekeeping magazine features Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company’s Gourmet Pasteurized Orange Juice as Best Tasting in its June issue. The national honor came as Good Housekeeping conducted a recent taste-test.

According to the taste-off at Good Housekeeping, Orchid Island Juice greatly exceeded all taste expectations in a test of 12 of the nation’s leading juices. “Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company Gourmet Pasteurized Orange Juice trounced the competition with its ‘fresh-squeezed’ taste and ‘just the right amount of pulp.” The Good Housekeeping tasters went on to say, “It’s no wonder one participant wrote that it ‘tastes like a real orange’: This brand contains nothing but 100 percent Florida orange juice — squeezed, then pasteurized and shipped (not frozen or stored).”

Capturing the Best Tasting Orange Juice title from Good Housekeeping magazine adds to the impressive list of national taste-test wins for Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company. Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company’s Gourmet Pasteurized Orange Juice was selected as the Best Tasting in America by Cook’s Illustrated magazine in early 2008. That win was mirrored by being selected as Best Tasting in a “live on-air” taste test on the NBC TODAY Show conducted by show anchor Lester Holt. Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice was also selected as the Best Tasting by Mr. Breakfast, an international celebrity expert on breakfast products. And, most recently was voted Best Tasting by Real Simple magazine.

“Being selected as Best Tasting in America by a wide variety of sources validates our belief that the best way to make juice is to use 100 percent fresh, all Florida fruit,” said Lisa Rymer, Director of Education and Public Affairs, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company. “It is testimony to high quality production standards, the dedication of our employees and our continued commitment to citrus grown by Florida farmers which produces such excellent taste year round without additives or artificial ingredients,” added Rymer.

Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company is family owned & operated by fourth generation citrus growers. Located in the heart of the world renowned Indian River Growing Region, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company products are available nationwide and in select international markets.
