LUSCOMBE drinks are made with purely the finest quality fresh ingredients,  without...concentrates; additives; preservatives; colourants; flavourings; enhancers; acidity regulators; artificial sweeteners; animal by-products; artificial pesticide residues; GMO`s & without  big, harsh, rasping bubbles the size of toads` eyes. All the LUSCOMBE drinks are made in Devon, within the historic setting of the Domesday farm.

 Additives are generally used to reddress the imbalance caused by the use of over-processed, convenient and cheaper concentrates. LUSCOMBE doesn`t use concentrates & has no need of artificial additives, often called 'natural flavours'. LUSCOMBE makes drinks with only the finest raw ingredients. Our drinks are hand-made in batches, with real ingredients, so each batch may subtly vary due to the raw ingredient varying slightly due to season, rain & sun. They often come with  sediment, evidence of the authentic, underprocessed nature of them.  

? Why not  G.M.O.s or artficial pesticide residues ?

-One reason is GMOs were designed to take lots of pesticides known to be toxic and accumulate in the body.

?Why not animal by products?

  -Isinglass( from the swim bladder of tropical fish) and blood are used to speedily clarify wines and ciders in the industry, none of which has to be mentioned on the label. We allow our cider plenty of time for it to clarify naturally. It may occasionally be a little cloudy but thats merely proof of its authenticity.

?Why not concentrates ?

-Because making any food a concentrate by it's very nature degrades it's special, natural qualities.

?Why not enhancers?

 because these are used to make up for the bland, uniform, over-processed concentrates; we don`t need them.

?Why not sweeteners?

 -Because real cane sugar is natural and tastes better.

?Why not preservatives?

 -Not strictly needed, they give a salty taste and some people are intolerant or allergic to them.

 ?Why not flavourings?

 -Why add these when the real thing tastes so good?

 ?Why not colourants?

-Why add these when the real thing looks so good?

   ?Why not acidity regulators?

 -Used to try to recreate the natural properties of the original ingredients that have been over-processed;  LUSCOMBE drinks don`t need them.
