Picking
Copella is made from handpicked apples at Boxford Farm, Suffolk.
Our apple pickers select and choose each apple carefully by hand. The apples are delicately selected for their size, shape, colour and maturity. Apples picked at the optimum time ensure that Copella is made from the
tastiest and sweetest apples. Our specialist apple experts know each delicious apple variety by heart and only allow a perfect picking for each blend.

Storing
Once the apples have been picked, they are placed gently in crates by variety and date and held in chilled storage until they are pressed.
In general, later harvest apples store better than early harvest apples, so apples picked October - early November will store well
and sustain the supply of Copella through the following seasons.
We select apples by variety to create the blend of apple varieties in our press that makes Copella taste so great.

Pressing
Before pressing, the apples are thoroughly washed.
Then our quality control team carefully grade the fruit to ensure only the best apples are used.
Any bruised or damaged fruit are removed.
The apples are then gently pressed to create
the famous delicious applejuice Copella is known for. The juice is then taste tested by our expert apple juice taster to guarantee excellence of flavour, then quickly bottled.
