Here at Eden Orchards, we’re incredibly proud of the cherries we grow - and the cherry juice we bottle. If you’ve ever wondered what makes New Zealand cherries so special, especially the ones grown in our orchards in Central Otago, we’d love to share what sets them apart.

Our cherries are nurtured in one of the most unique growing environments on Earth. Central Otago, nestled in New Zealand’s South Island, is a region blessed with rich volcanic soils, pure alpine spring water, long sunny days, and cold winters. This natural combination creates the perfect conditions for growing cherries that are bursting with flavour, rich in colour, and naturally sweet.

The volcanic soils provide a mineral-rich base that helps our cherry trees thrive. They’re irrigated with crystal-clear spring water, untouched and free from pollutants. One of the most remarkable aspects of our region is the strong UV light, thanks to Central Otago’s high sunlight hours and clear atmospheric conditions. This intense sunlight not only helps the fruit develop natural sugars and bold flavours - it also deepens the colour of the cherries and boosts their antioxidant content. That’s why our cherries are not only sweeter, but also richer in beneficial compounds like anthocyanins, which give them their deep red hue and powerful health benefits.

Our cold winters also play a key role in giving the trees the rest they need to produce consistently high-quality fruit. It’s a natural reset that results in a better bloom and more flavourful harvest come summer.

Once the cherries reach peak ripeness, we handpick only the best for our juice. We don’t add a thing - no sugar, no preservatives, and no concentrates. Just 100% pure cherry juice, straight from the orchards to your glass.

As a family-owned business, we’re committed to farming in a way that’s both sustainable and ethical. We care for our land and our community, using environmentally friendly practices and packaging to minimise waste and our footprint.

We also take pride in the fact that all our juice is made from cherries grown, picked, and bottled right here in Central Otago. That means better traceability, unmatched flavour, and a true taste of the region in every bottle. Whether you enjoy it on its own, in a smoothie, or in a cocktail, our 100% Pure Cherry Juice is a delicious way to support your health and experience the purity of New Zealand.
