The Wild About Fruit Company is an Australian fruit company, located in Victoria's prime produce area, the Yarra Valley. The company is owned and operated by a third generation of the Mould family. Its main operations take place in Wandin with other properties located at Coldstream, Bacchus Marsh, Gundagai, New South Wales [1] and Kerang. [2] As of 2002, it was growing 40 different of cherries for the domestic and export fresh cherry market. [3] [4]
Wild About Fruit has worked closely with the CSIRO in crating painted juice production, developing juice extraction techniques that allowed a greater percentage of the fruit to be utilised, and deactivating enzymes that would result in a longer shelf-life for the product without the use of preservatives. [5] [6]
In 2004, Wild About Fruit products were endorsed by Planet Ark. [7]
In September 2005, EPA Victoria fined Wild Juice Pty Ltd $5113 for contravening the requirements of a pollution abatement notice. In May, an EPA inspection had identified an incomplete connection of the site's new waste treatment plant. [8]
