Cotchel
“A FANTASTIC PRODUCER - BEAUTIFUL JUICE, EACH VARIETY DISTINCT, DELICIOUS, UNIQUE.” Michel Roux Jr
Every year tonnes of fruit are wasted around the country because it’s too big, too small or too ugly to be sold.
Cotchel was founded by third generation farmer Pete Thompson, who is on a mission to reduce food waste. The family have been growing fruit and vegetables for markets, greengrocers and restaurants on their farm in Essex since 1948. They select and grow apples, pears, apricots, plums and figs for the best flavour.
Cotchel is a new range of four distinct juices made with apples and pears grown, pressed and bottled in Essex. Cotchel is all about creating a great tasting fruit juice using fruit that can’t be sold and taking small steps towards reducing food waste.
Cotchel is market-traders’ slang for the bits 'n' bobs left over at the end of the week. Needless to say, Cotchel always tastes good!
The orchards are abundant with wildlife. As farmers, they believe it is their duty to care for the land for the benefit of future generations.
