Ceres Fruit Juices Pty Ltd is a well-known beverage company from South Africa. It is famous for making delicious fruit juices and other drinks from fruit. The company is based in the city of Paarl and is a part of a larger company called Pioneer Foods.
Ceres is proud that its juices are made from 100% fruit juice. They do not add any preservatives, which are chemicals used to make food last longer. Instead, they use a special method called aseptic processing. This technique packages the juice in a way that keeps it fresh and safe to drink.
You can find Ceres juices all over Africa. The company also sends its products to more than 80 countries around the world, including places in North America, Europe, and Asia. In fact, the United States is one of the biggest markets for Ceres juice!
The Story of Ceres
The company gets its name from the town of Ceres in the Western Cape of South Africa. This is where a group of local fruit farmers started the company back in 1986.
The Ceres valley is like a paradise for growing fruit. It is one of the most important fruit-growing areas in southern Africa. Many delicious fruits like apples, pears, and stone fruits (such as peaches and plums) grow there.
In 2004, Ceres Fruit Juices became a full part of Pioneer Foods, a large food and drink company based in Bellville.
