The New 1L Cold-Pressed Juice Range: Orange, Pineapple, and Sweet & Sour Apple Reviewed

Bigger bottles mean more of the good stuff. Folkingtons has expanded its cold-pressed juice lineup with larger 1L formats, offering the same nutrient-packed, wonky-fruit goodness in a size that suits sharing, meal prep, or simply getting more juice into your day. We tasted three key newcomers — Orange, Pineapple, and the freshly launched Sweet & Sour Apple — to see how they stack up.

Whether you’re a seasoned juice lover or new to cold-pressed, this review covers flavour, value, packaging, and who should grab a carton (or six). We also compare the new 1L offerings against smaller favourites like the Apple & Mango cold-pressed juice and the Apple & Superberry cold-pressed juice to help you decide.

Why Go Big? The 1L Cold-Pressed Advantage

Cold-pressed juice has long been a go-to for those seeking a concentrated hit of vitamins, but standard 330ml or 250ml bottles can disappear in one sip. Folkingtons’ new 1L range addresses that by giving you four servings per bottle — ideal for a family breakfast, post-workout refuel, or keeping in the fridge for a week of daily shots. The juice is still HPP (high-pressure processed) to lock in nutrients without pasteurisation, so you get the same raw goodness in a bigger package.

Another perk is the reduced packaging waste per litre. Instead of buying four small bottles, one 1L container uses less plastic and is easier to recycle. And because Folkingtons uses wonky fruit that would otherwise go to waste, every big bottle also means less food waste. It’s a win for your health, your wallet, and the planet.

Taste Test: Sweet & Sour Apple Takes the Crown

We started with the NEW! 1L Sweet & Sour Apple cold-pressed juice 6x1L — a blend that lives up to its name. The sweet apples provide a natural honeyed base, while the sour apple varieties add a crisp tang that wakes up your taste buds. It’s not too sharp (no scrunched-face reaction) and not too sugary. The balance is spot-on, making it a crowd-pleaser for both adults and children. In our blind test, it ranked highest for drinkability and aftertaste.

For comparison, the Apple & Mango cold-pressed juice skews sweeter and creamier, thanks to the mango. It’s a fantastic tropical option but less versatile as a daily drink. The Apple & Superberry cold-pressed juice, meanwhile, offers a deeper, tart-berry finish with antioxidants — excellent for smoothie bowls but a little bold on its own. If you want one juice that works equally well in a glass, a smoothie, or a mocktail, the Sweet & Sour Apple is the winner.

• Sweet & Sour Apple: balanced, refreshing, low acidity – perfect for all-day sipping
• Apple & Mango: tropical, dessert-like – best as a treat or mix-in
• Apple & Superberry: tangy, antioxidant-rich – ideal for post-exercise recovery

What About Orange and Pineapple?

While the Sweet & Sour Apple is the new star, Folkingtons’ Orange and Pineapple cold-pressed juices in the 1L size continue to deliver. The Orange is classic: bright, zesty, and not overly sweet — exactly what you’d hope from a cold-pressed citrus. The Pineapple offers a sunny, tropical profile with a gentle acidity that cuts through richness. Both are excellent on their own or as mixers for sparkling water.

That said, if you’re looking for a flavour with more complexity and a longer finish, the Sweet & Sour Apple edges ahead. It’s the kind of juice you can drink a full litre of without feeling bored or overwhelmed. For large households or those who meal-prep juice shots, the 1L format of these three flavours gives you variety without sacrificing shelf space.

Packaging, Shelf Life, and Value

The 1L bottles feature a sturdy, reclosable cap and a wide base that fits neatly in most fridge doors. Each bottle is clearly labelled with the Use-By date, and because HPP extends shelf life, you can keep an unopened bottle for up to 30 days. Once opened, we recommend finishing within 3–5 days — but with a litre on hand, that’s rarely a problem.

At £X per litre (check current pricing on site), the 1L range works out more economical per serving than the smaller cartons. Bundle deals like the 6x1L Sweet & Sour Apple pack make it even more affordable. For those who want to variety, the All range mini variety box still offers a great tasting experience, but if you’ve found your favourite, the 1L is the smarter buy.

Who Should Buy the 1L Cold-Pressed Juices?

These bottles are perfect for busy parents who want a quick glass of something healthy for the kids without constant restocking. They’re also great for fitness enthusiasts who like to have a post-workout juice ready, or for anyone who simply enjoys a daily juice without the waste of multiple small containers. If you’re new to cold-pressed, the Sweet & Sour Apple is an approachable entry point with broad appeal.

For those who already love Folkingtons, the 1L format is a natural upgrade. And if you’ve been hesitant about the price per small bottle, this larger format brings the cost down noticeably. It also makes it easier to incorporate juice into cooking — think marinades, dressings, or even frozen into ice cubes for smoothies.

If you’re ready to upgrade your juice game with a bigger, better bottle, start with the NEW! 1L Sweet & Sour Apple cold-pressed juice 6x1L. It’s the most balanced and versatile of the new lineup, and with one bottle you’ll see why the 1L format is here to stay. Explore the full range and find your new fridge staple at Folkingtons.
