Trader Joe's Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice



Apologies for the crappy photo.

Since I was on a little kick of taste-testing orange juices, I decided to take a shot at Trader Joe's top-of-the-line product. This is way more expensive than the others (see posts from yesterday and the day before), at $5.49 for this 64-ounce jug. It has to be good, right?

Nope. Another disappointment. To be sure, it's better than the other ones we've talked about. But compared to the stuff you can sometimes find at good restaurants, where they squeeze the oranges on site and pour it into a glass, well, this TJ's stuff is as far behind that as their from-concentrate juice is behind this.

Incidentally, if you're wondering how there can be a not-from-concentrate juice that is not fresh-squeezed, here's an explanation. It's not pretty.

Will I buy it again? 

I doubt it. It's just not enough better than the more pedestrian versions to warrant the steep price.
