Question 1

What are the characteristics of Pago?

Accepted Answer

Among Pago's characteristics, the most important are the taste of its fruit juices and their natural composition: Pago offers consumers the sensation of drinking the very best fruit. We can also mention our wide range of flavors and our vocation as a fruit juice specialist. All our efforts, both in terms of composition and product development, are aimed at achieving this goal: 100% natural fruit juices, because we use only natural ingredients.

Question 2

Where do the fruits selected by Pago come from?

Accepted Answer

The fruit comes from all over the world, and particularly from regions with the best fruit varieties! Pago buys its fruit from suppliers renowned for their quality, with whom the brand has long-standing partnerships.

Question 3

How much fruit do you need for one liter of fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

This varies greatly depending on the fruit: from 1.1kg to 2kg of fruit.

Question 4

What's the difference between 100% pure juice, ABC 100% fruit juice, nectar and fruit drinks?

Accepted Answer

100% pure juice is juice obtained only from freshly squeezed fruit, which is bottled immediately afterwards. Only watery fruits can be transformed into 100% pure juice: apple, orange, grape, etc. ABC 100% fruit juices are made from concentrate (ABC): the water is evaporated from the fruit to facilitate transport, and the result is a fruit puree. Once at the production plant, the water is reincorporated without adding sugar. Nectars are made from concentrates to which water and sugar are added to make them more pleasant to drink. A juice is a fruit drink made from several fruits or berries. This process makes it possible to compose a juice using all the virtues of fruit (grapes for sugar, apples for water, pulp for texture, etc.).

Question 5

Why is sugar added to some fruit juices?

Accepted Answer

All fruit naturally contains sugar (fructose, glucose and sucrose...). 100% pure juices are made exclusively from fruit, and therefore a fortiori from the sugar contained in that fruit. For certain fruit juices that are too bitter or thick, it is preferable to mix them with water and sugar to make them more pleasant to drink. These are known as nectars or fruit drinks.

Question 6

Does Pago use artificial coloring agents and preservatives?

Accepted Answer

Pago fruit juices are 100% natural products, so no preservatives or colorants are used in their composition. Thanks to pasteurization and modern bottling techniques, it is possible to ensure and preserve the qualities of a juice without adding any additives. Pago products contain only what the label specifies. The excellent protection afforded by the glass and the quality of the material used in Pago PET bottles also contribute to preserving the taste right up to the best-before date.

Question 7

Why is the use-by date on Pago fruit juices so long?

Accepted Answer

The process used to preserve Pago products is pasteurization. The products are heated to around 85°C. The bottles are then immediately sealed and cooled (an air vacuum is created in the bottle between the twist-off cap and the fruit juice). This means that microorganisms are inactivated and the fruit juice is preserved naturally (without preservatives) for a long time to come.

Question 8

What's so special about the famous twist-off cap?

Accepted Answer

The twist-off cap offers consumers many advantages over the crown cap: easy to open (no bottle opener needed), easy to drink (wider neck), portable (resealable cap), and a guarantee of freshness thanks to the “pop” when opened.

Question 9

Although the brand's emblematic bottle is made of glass, Pago now sells PET bottles. Why?

Accepted Answer

By increasing its production of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, Pago has expanded its distribution networks. These include supermarkets, gas stations, bakeries and restaurant chains. Our PET bottles contain no bisphenol A.

Question 10

What is the best way to store Pago fruit juices?

Accepted Answer

Before opening, Pago fruit juices do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. On the other hand, an opened bottle should be stored in a cool place and consumed within three days.
