WHY KING ORCHARDS CONCENTRATE?
At the heart of our brand lies a genuine family farm legacy. Founded by John King in 1980, King Orchards has been cultivating Montmorency tart cherries, among other fruits, for over four decades. Today, as a second-generation farm, we continue to uphold our commitment to quality and authenticity. When you choose our product, you’re not just getting cherry concentrate — you’re supporting a real family farm behind the brand.
Our cherries are grown specifically for concentrate. We wait until our cherries have reached absolute peak ripeness then harvest them specifically for our concentrate. Our juice is concentrated to 68 Brix, which is at the highest end of the industry spectrum. To put it simply, it is about 7 times more concentrated than single strength juice, ensuring maximum potency and effectiveness. We’re confident that our 7x concentration method is the most sustainable, stable, and efficient way to deliver the incredible benefits of Montmorency cherries to you.
Our packaging options are unique to the market and offer practical solutions whether you are a daily consumer from your home or an athlete traveling the world. From our flagship 32 oz. bottle, designed to last one month for a daily user, to the convenient 96 oz. bag in box for easy pouring and storage, and even single-serving 1 oz. packets perfect for on-the-go convenience. Whatever your preference or lifestyle, we have the perfect option for you.
While opting for a shelf-stable product might seem simpler, we prioritize supreme quality above all else. Unlike many others, we refrain from pasteurizing our cherry concentrate during bottling. This decision preserves the delicate health benefits our customers seek. By keeping our product refrigerated, we ensure the maintenance of its superior quality that you can taste and see.
I give this concentrated cherry juice to my friend who tends to get gout. Cherry juice is a natural cure for the build up of urate crystals that accumulate in his big toe joint. And, it’s delicious and can be served many ways besides drinking it. I love it on ice cream. (Well, I love most things on ice cream!)”

I use it full strength if I awaken during the night and sometimes sleep past my normal wakeup time. I understand it has natural Melatonin. I have given a bottle to several friends who have joint pain and they are amazed at the relief they have achieved. Always good feedback from them and they have continued to order the concentrate.”

Arthritis was creating sleep deprivation to an extent that my quality of life was severely limited, then I started taking King Orchards Cherry Juice and the arthritis effects have been negligible over the past 16+ years, allowing me to continue playing basketball, pickleball and bike ride 2-3 times a week, with no arthritic side effects.”

Some of our customers prefer the concentrate, some prefer the capsules, and others take both. The concentrate and capsules are made differently. The concentrate is made by pressing the cherries, extracting the juice, then concentrating that juice to 68 Brix through a slow evaporation process. After the cherries are pressed, the skins and pulp and freeze dried and encapsulated. The concentrate is great for its versatility – add it to water, a smoothie, yogurt, cocktail/mocktail, or anything you want to add a burst of tart cherry flavor to. The capsules are great for traveling or for people watching their sugar since they have less than 1 gram.
There is no added sugar in the concentrate – just Montmorency tart cherries!
There are approximately ½ lb. of cherries in every 1 oz. serving of concentrate.
The sky is the limit! Water and sparkling water are what we hear most people use, but you can mix with any beverage. Be creative with mocktails (or cocktails). Mix into your smoothie or protein drink. Some people even take it in concentrate form by the spoonful. For more creative recipes, check out our suggestions here.
For long term storage, the concentrate needs to be either refrigerated or put in the freezer (it doesn’t actually freeze solid or expand since it is so highly concentrated). Because it is so concentrated, it is very stable.
We do not have sound evidence indicating that a time of day is more or less beneficial. Although the concentrate is a natural source of melatonin, it is a much smaller dose than a melatonin supplement would be and it does not cause drowsiness. The benefits of the Montmorency cherries are typically realized as a subtle change over time as it becomes part of your daily regimen. We recommend at least 2 weeks of daily use before assessing whether you notice any benefits or not.
An best by date of 16 months is used at the time of bottling. Concentrate should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
