What do I serve with duck breast if someone doesn't want red wine? The manufacturer's tasting note puts it clearly: this juice can replace not-too-heavy red wines. Direct juice means that the fruit is pressed and the juice is bottled directly, without the detour of a concentrate. Van Nahmen refers to this as \"mother juice,\" i.e., the pure, undiluted juice of the fruit. It remains naturally cloudy and deep red, just as it comes from the press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the juice is dark and radiant at the same time, a deep red with slight cloudiness. The aroma reveals pomegranate and blood orange, followed by a trace of sour cherry and a note reminiscent of black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it feels slightly tart and dry. The special feature is the fine tannin: it gives the juice structure and a slightly astringent finish, as you know it from red wine. It is hardly sweet in the sense of a soda. Those who expect a mild, round fruit juice for the breakfast table will probably find it too tart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServe it at 10 to 12 °C, neat or mixed 1:1 with mineral water as a spritzer. For meals, it is worth using a wine glass, as the juice appears fuller in one. As a spritzer with a sprig of mint and a few ice cubes, it becomes a deep-red aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer sees it as a companion for a surprisingly wide range of cuisines: German, Italian, or Oriental. It goes well with sea fish, chicken and turkey, game, duck and goose, cheese, and mushroom dishes. The tasting note is specific: prosciutto as an appetizer, spaghetti bolognese, veal cutlet, red mullet, or duck breast. Especially with duck and game, the tannins play to their strength because they provide a counterpoint to the fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, an opened bottle will keep for five days in the refrigerator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sear a duck breast until crispy on the skin side and deglaze the pan drippings with a splash of pomegranate juice. The sauce will then taste exactly like what is in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe van Nahmen fruit press is known for fruit from the Lower Rhine and the Münsterland. The pomegranate is an outlier in this assortment; it is not a fruit from local meadow orchards. Instead, the manufacturer describes exactly which trees the fruits grow on: pomegranate trees that are over 100 years old and five to eight meters high. Each fruit contains up to 400 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer also calls the pomegranate a \"fruit of paradise.\" It is gently processed into organic mother juice. Like all of the company's juices and nectars, it is only briefly heated, according to the manufacturer, for about 30 seconds at 85 °C, and then cooled down quickly. Behind the juice is a family that has been pressing fruit in Hamminkeln since 1917. Today, Dr. Peter van Nahmen and his wife Sabine are at the helm as the fourth generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone looking for a glass with depth to accompany hearty food. For hosts who want to offer everyone an equal-status beverage at the festive table. For cooking enthusiasts who round off sauces and dressings with pomegranate. And for everyone who deliberately chooses a glass for dinner that feels like a companion to the menu rather than a thirst quencher.

In contrast, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bio-apfelsaft-von-streuobstwiesen\"\u003eOrganic Apple Juice from Meadow Orchards\u003c\/a\u003e is light and mild.
