At over 11,000 meters below sea level, in the Mariana Trench, the pressure is immense. Over 1,000 times greater than the surface. And, at the same time, 5 times less than the pressure each bottle of Melissimo is subjected to when processed using HPP technology.
In the depths of the ocean, pressure is a hostile force, capable of limiting or eliminating life. Used in HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology, it becomes the allied force that protects and preserves food.
Surprising though it may seem, Extreme pressure is one of the gentlest methods used to preserve the quality and authenticity of a natural product.
What exactly is PPH?
HPP is a modern food processing technology that eliminates harmful bacteria without the use of high temperatures or chemical compounds, solely by the action of extreme pressure applied uniformly to the packaged product.
Why does the processing method matter?
In short, HPP technology uses pressure, not heat, to maintain the natural structure of food. This process offers a high degree of food safety and keeps Melissimo juices as close as possible to their natural form, with the authentic taste of freshly squeezed fruit.
What are the main benefits of PPH?
Although less known to the general public than pasteurization, HPP technology is gaining ground over pasteurization because of its important benefits: keeps the taste, color, texture, minerals, enzymes, nutrients and vitamins of foods, including heat-sensitive foods, intact.
Is HPP the technology of the future?
As food education evolves, consumers are increasingly looking for clean, minimally processed products that protect their health and well-being, HPP is set to become the new standard in modern food processing. That's why we chose this technology for Melissimo.
HPP technology enables:
- retains an authentic taste, identical to freshly squeezed juice
- preserving all the natural properties and nutritional value of the fruit
- offers food safety and extended shelf life
