Califia Farms is deeply committed to taking care of the earth and its people through the sustainable production of healthy, all-natural beverages, with 100% recyclable packaging| aligning with the Non-GMO Project's mission was a natural fit for their business. Cuties Juice and Smoothies are all natural, made from Cuties tangerines and other fruits, and come in irresistibly cute 8 ounce and 48 ounce packages, with fun, fresh flavor combinations like Tangerine-Orange-Pineapple and Monkey Madness, their new tangerine-banana smoothie. Califia Farms Pure Almondmilk has three varieties: Unsweetened, Vanilla, and Creamy. While typical almondmilks are processed from roasted almonds, Califia Farms' Almondmilk is made from whole blanched (not roasted) California almonds, resulting in a fresh, vibrant taste with more nutrients. Pure Almondmilk comes in a sleek, modern 48 ounce carafe that recalls the iconic glass milk bottle silhouette from days of old. In 2011, Progressive Grocer named Califia Farms an Editors' Pick for Best New Product and a finalist for this year's PMA Impact Award: Excellence in Packaging. Califia Farms Almondmilk is in the dairy section and must be refrigerated. Cuties Juice is in either the produce section or dairy section and must be refrigerated. Extended Shelf Life (ESL) packaging guarantees freshness.
