Francine Covelli, the founder of Nourish Cold Pressed Juice in Kennett Square, is one of the four women who are making waves in the Main Line region’s culinary scene, writes Ed Williams for the Main Line Today.
Covelli drew inspiration for her business from her Italian-Irish family, which always put emphasis on fresh-grown ingredients when cooking.
“Gathering around the kitchen table and cooking together was a central part of family life,” she said. “It inspired me to start Nourish.”
Cold-pressing is a technique that best protects the integrity of the juice. The hydraulic action thoroughly extracts the most nutrients from fruits and vegetables. This slow process prevents oxidation and ensures that vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, and other vital micronutrients are well preserved in Covelli’s certified-organic juices, elixirs, and probiotic lemonades.
Recently, Covelli partnered with Christa Barfield of Farmer Jawn in West Chester to grow both her operations and highlight local ingredients.
She also created a “Philly Special” custom juice for the Philadelphia Eagles and donates at least one percent of the business’s annual revenue to environmental causes.
