Bulk Apple Juice Concentrate — Iranian Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier
If you’re sourcing bulk apple juice concentrate for a beverage line, dairy plant, or bakery, the supplier matters almost as much as the recipe. As a direct apple juice concentrate manufacturer in Iran, we press, concentrate, and aseptically pack our own apple crop, then export it to manufacturers, processors, and distributors across Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Below: what we produce, how it’s specced and certified, and why more buyers in Italy and Spain now work with an Iranian supplier alongside — or instead of — their Chinese and Turkish sources.
Why Source Apple Juice Concentrate from Iran?
Iran is consistently among the world’s top apple-producing countries, typically ranking 7th or 8th globally, with most orchards in West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, and Fars provinces. That volume of raw fruit is what lets Iranian apple concentrate manufacturers hold competitive pricing against Turkey and most European origins, without giving up much on quality.
Harvest runs late summer into early autumn, and pressing continues September through November — the window when most of the year’s 70 Brix concentrate is produced. Ordering during or just after this period usually gets the sharpest pricing; buying later still works, since aseptic concentrate stores well.
For Italian and Spanish buyers, Iran isn’t a fallback option — it’s already where most of our export volume goes. Several long-term customers in both countries moved from domestic or other regional suppliers mainly to lower their raw material cost per ton.
Our Apple Juice Concentrate — Product Overview
Apple juice concentrate is made by pressing fresh apples, clarifying and filtering the juice, then removing most of the water through vacuum evaporation until it reaches roughly 70° Brix — concentrated apple juice, essentially: the flavor and sugars of the fruit, minus the water.
Our standard product is clarified apple juice concentrate: filtered to remove pulp and pectin, for a clear liquid that blends into juices and beverages without settling. Cloudy concentrate, which keeps more pulp for a fuller mouthfeel, is available on request for larger orders.
Buying in bulk lowers cost per kilogram and cuts packaging waste. Aseptic concentrate holds for up to two years unopened, so you can plan procurement around your own production schedule.
Technical Specifications
Every batch is lab-tested before loading, and a certificate of analysis ships with each order. Here’s our standard spec for 70 Brix natural apple juice concentrate — unsweetened, no additives:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Brix | 70 ± 1° Brix |
| Acidity (as malic acid) | 1.5 – 2.3% w/w |
| pH | 3.0 – 4.0 |
| Turbidity / clarity (clarified grade) | Clear; ≥ 95% light transmittance, no visible sediment |
| Total plate count | < 100 CFU/g |
| Yeast & mould | < 10 CFU/g |
| Coliforms | Negative in 25 g |
| Heavy metals / patulin | Within EU Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 limits |
| Shelf life | 24 months unopened, aseptic packaging |
| Storage temperature | Ambient, below 25°C (frozen storage available on request) |
Need a tighter acidity band or a specific pH for your formulation? Tell us the target when you request a quote and we’ll confirm whether a batch can match it. For formulations where acidity adjustment and citrus flavor are required, manufacturers may also consider bulk lemon juice concentrate as part of their ingredient selection.
Packaging Options
- Aseptic bag in 200L metal drum — roughly 265 kg net, a sterile bag inside an epoxy-lined drum. Most European buyers already have handling equipment for this format, so it’s what we’d suggest for a first order.
- IBC totes (1,000L) — around 1,300 kg net. Less drum-handling labor, and better suited to larger, recurring orders once the product is qualified on your line.
- Tanker loading — possible for large, established contracts, depending on route and port capability.
The aseptic part matters more than the container. Because the concentrate is sterilized and filled under aseptic conditions, it travels and stores at ambient temperature for up to two years without refrigeration — which is what keeps international freight to Italy or Spain cost-effective, whichever route or transport mode it takes.
Certifications & Quality Standards
Our facility holds HACCP, ISO 22000, and ISO 9001 certification, plus Halal as standard; Kosher can be arranged for specific runs on request. Every shipment travels with a certificate of analysis and certificate of origin, and we can add a certificate of free sale if your import process needs one.
For a European importer, this isn’t paperwork for its own sake — it’s what your food safety team checks before supplier approval, and what customs or retail auditors ask for later. We’d rather send it up front than have it hold up a shipment.
You’re welcome to visit the factory during pressing season. For buyers who can’t travel, we routinely send free samples ahead of a first bulk order so you can test it yourself first. If you’d rather have independent confirmation, we can also arrange third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS or equivalent) to verify quality and quantity before the container is loaded.
Applications of Apple Juice Concentrate
Apple juice concentrate is one of the more flexible ingredients in food and beverage production, part of why demand from Italy and Spain has held steady:
- Fruit juices & beverages — reconstituted into single-strength juice, blended into nectars, or used as a sweetening base for other fruit flavors.
- Dairy products & yogurt — sweetens fruit yogurts and dairy drinks without the graininess added sugar can bring.
- Bakery & confectionery — replaces refined sugar in fillings and glazes while adding moisture.
- Baby food — the clarified, unsweetened grade is a common base for infant fruit purées.
- Sauces, jams & nectars — adds body and natural sweetness.
- Natural sweetener — a label-friendly substitute for added sugar in “no added sugar” lines.
Apple juice concentrate is widely used in beverage, dairy, and food applications. For manufacturers looking to expand their product range with other fruit-based ingredients, bulk red grape juice concentrate can be a suitable option for juice blends, nectars, and natural flavor formulations.
Bulk Apple Concentrate Supply for Italy & Spain
Most of our export volume today goes to buyers in Italy and Spain. The reason is simple: both countries have sizeable juice and dairy processing industries, but domestic production doesn’t always cover demand at a competitive price, especially when the European apple harvest runs short. That gap has created steady demand for a reliable Iranian apple juice concentrate supplier for Italy that can hold consistent Brix and acidity at a competitive landed cost — and increasingly the same is true for buyers looking for an apple juice concentrate supplier for Spain.
Alongside apple concentrate, international beverage manufacturers can also source bulk orange juice concentrate for juice blends and citrus-based products.
We ship by sea, land, or a combination of both, depending on whichever routing is fastest and most reliable at the time, and we work with flexible delivery terms to match how you buy: EXW at the factory with export customs cleared, DDP to your door, or delivery to your destination port. Our standard MOQ is one 40-foot container, or the IBC equivalent; smaller trial orders can sometimes be arranged for new buyers who’d rather test the product before committing to a full container.
On price, we aim to land below equivalent European-origin product, mainly because raw material and harvest labor cost less on our end. That gap moves season to season, so it’s worth asking for a current quote rather than working off last year’s numbers. What tends to keep buyers with us long-term, though, is less about price and more about three things: Brix and acidity that don’t drift from batch to batch, paperwork that clears customs without last-minute surprises, and a shipment that actually arrives when we said it would.
