Product Description
Wild pomegranate is regarded by the local population as the natural immune system booster. People believe that consuming this juice on a daily basis will fend off colds, flu and all other ailments.
The juice is a refreshing drink, and together with Turkish coffee, it makes a typical hospitality ritual in southern regions of Montenegro.
To make this juice, fruits have to be picked in the autumn when they are ripe, directly from the plants in the wild, in the inaccessible and rocky landscapes of Montenegro, which can be a very dangerous task…
The fruits picked from the wild are placed straight into a mechanical press. The liquid that is squeezed out is collected, filtered and bottled. The resulting juice is very strong, and is usually diluted with water when served.
Juice has a ruby red colour like the seeds it was made from. It is tangy and since the juice was pressed from the whole fruit, the substances from the rind give it a slightly bitter, but pleasant taste. The specific taste can be enjoyed as it is, or sweetened with sugar or honey.
