To use better ingredients

Our vegetable and berry products are made from ingredients that have been specially cultivated for us in a natural environment, carefully selected and ripened in the sun. This guarantees the best taste! Our vegetables are grown for us by farmers in Lithuania and European countries – Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria and Spain, places with ideal conditions for vegetables to ripen naturally. We take care of our vegetables – we carefully select and transport them to preserve the best flavour characteristics.

To create more interesting, healthier and flavourful products

Our experienced team of technologists is looking for new, healthier and more interesting recipes for your table every day in their professional kitchen. Travelling and gaining experience abroad, they create products that are valued in Lithuania and beyond for their quality and exceptional taste. We are looking for inspiration in the cuisines of the world, but we do not forget that we are Lithuanian and we have something to be proud of. We strive to preserve the best taste traditions of our nation in our products. Our specialists not only create great recipes, but also try to make them healthier. We do not use flavour enhancers, preservatives or artificial colourants wherever possible. We regularly taste and evaluate the products together to make sure that the most delicious products reach your table. After all, taste is key!

To use more advanced production methods
