Real lime juice for bar programs: NFC, fresh-frozen and shelf-stable

Award-winning bar programs stopped squeezing limes on-shift years ago. The right format depends on your speed of service, waste tolerance and cocktail identity. Here is what buyers should compare.

NFC bottled lime juice

5–7 % citric acidity, pH 2.2–2.4. Clean label, cold-filled below 4 °C. 12 months chilled. Best for craft cocktail bars that want a consistent Daiquiri or Margarita spec without daily squeezing.

Fresh-frozen lime puree

IQF pouches of lime juice frozen at −18 °C. Retains oil fraction from the peel. Best for hotel bar programs with variable weekly volume.

Shelf-stable lime cordial

Pasteurised, ambient stable. Cheapest per litre but flavour-shifted. Best for high-volume events and airline catering.

Yield economics

One kg of fresh limes yields ≈ 300–400 ml juice. NFC bottled lime lands at 40–60 % of the labour-plus-fruit cost of fresh squeezing, before waste.

NostraMareFoods lime program

Real, NFC lime juice from Brazil and Mexico, cold-filled in 1 L glass and 5 L bag-in-box. Cold-chain logistics with per-pallet logging.
