Mexico's original apple soda and part of Mexico's heritage since 1902, is a natural, healthy family favorite ñ made with real apple juice and believed to have medical benefits due to its pasteurization process.
Mundet History
In the first part of the 20th century, Mexico began bottling the so called “limonadas” or “gaseosas” in the classic marble bottles. At the time, the distribution was carried out by hand in small wooden carts, which became very popular in the streets of Mexico. Later on, cars drawn by mules or horses were incorporated.
One of the most representative names of this “golden” age in Mexico was that of “Don Arturo Mundet”, manufacturer since 1902 of the popular “Sidral Mundet” who also started producing bottle caps as soon as this concept was invented in the US.
Sidral Mundet, once bottled, is submitted to a pasteurization process, which consists in having the tapped bottles go thru a series of water curtains at different temperature levels, resulting in the elimination of any yeasts, fungus or bacteria from the soft drink. The beverage ends up free of any deteriorations or alterations, while keeping its refreshing flavors and nutritive qualities untouched. The Pasteurization technique developed by Luis Pasteur has been considered worldwide one of the major contributions of science, as for the food and beverage industry, to the preservation of public health. We must say, just for the record, that Sidral Mundet has been pasteurized from the first day of its conception to this day.
