Cold Pressed Fruit juice

Was very pleased that HKG-JFK J offered a cold pressed pineapple, pear and lime juice - fantastic and definitely much higher quality than the juice cartons they normally use.

However, no such option was available on EWR-HKG. How come JFK J gets higher quality juice options?

I haven't figured out which ports, but indeed some flights are getting this option in J class. It's not just JFK. Has been going on for 2-3 months now.

i am not sure how fresh a cold pressed juice is after 12hr anyhow. i trust cold pressed for immediate consumption, otherwose its all marketing ploy, as i believe nutrient left on 12h old cold "fresh cold pressed juice" is as good as standard marchandise on market shelf.

Perhaps it's because the flight was ex-HKG rather than JFK vs. EWR?

cold press juice can last for much longer in fridge.

The cold pressed juices were 'leftovers'/soft changes that follow from the DoD trial last year. Apparently feedback is good and it'll be around here and there. I had it on a flight to Jo'burg I think and it was really good!

Same case applies for other things you see here and there now, like Sauternes.
​​​​​​​
Also, I can imagine some potential cost savings (pax more likely to take juice AND smoothie in the past, whereas probably not juice and juice in this case?)

Indeed, but not the same thing. This cold pressed juice thing is different.
