The Slovak organic fruit juices producer was established in 2013 in a former mining village located in a southern part of Slovakia. Since 2014 the company deals with growing plantations of blackcurrant and aronia blackberry (black chokeberry), producing natural organic products: blackcurrant juice and juice from bio aronia blackberry. The company grows fruit in organic quality without chemistry and fertilizers. The quality is controlled by the certification organization annually and every year the company applies for a certificate declaring fulfilment of the conditions for cultivation and production in organic agricultural production.

On the Slovak market, there is only one similar company which follows the same process of cultivation and production of blackcurrants. Therefore, its position on the market is quite strong and stable.

Products of the company: 100% natural blackcurrant juice, aronia blackberry juice - a product in conversion to organic farming. This year (2020) bio status will be granted. The juice contains no preservatives, no artificial additives, no added sugar. It is undiluted/not concentrated. The planned harvest is mid-July 2020 and the juice will be available in organic bio quality at the beginning of August 2020. Production is made once a year from fresh organic fruit. The output is 1 300 bottles with a volume of 0.5 litres, available for sale.

The company seeks for potential partners especially from Austria, Hungary, Italy, Germany or Czechia who will sell blackcurrant juices in organic shops or shops with quality products, possibly in hotels or restaurants. All promotion materials will be distributed to the partner and samples of juices can be delivered directly to the partners too. Further details of cooperation vary by the ordered volumes. Definition of the volumes vary by year and can be adjusted by yearly basis.
