Roberts Berries are intended to make it easy to enjoy wild Northern berries. To make these products, we use wild bilberries, lingonberries and cloudberries hand-picked from the forest. We also use some cultivated berries, such as raspberries, blackcurrants, sea buckthorns, cranberries and strawberries. Some of these also grow in the wild but not in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes. Depending on availability, we source these berries from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Canada, and Poland. Poland is not strictly part of the northern growing area, but it lies right on its border. All the berries naturally contain plant compounds, like polyphenols. The northern conditions with long hours of summer sunlight are especially conducive to berry growth and polyphenol content. All the wild berries are picked from places where berries grow wild, in harmony with nature, without fertilizers or pesticides. Roberts Berries are part of the Finnish plant-based diet, offering the typical nutritional components of berries as they occur in nature.

We use clean high-quality raw ingredients and observe good hygiene and high-quality preparation methods in our production. Our production is FSSC-22000-certified. Rapid heating, the addition of only a small quantity of preservatives and the use of protective atmosphere ensure the shelf life of the product. The preservative used is potassium sorbate E202, which effectively prevents the growth of yeasts, moulds, and bacteria. A similar type of natural preservative is sorbic acid which is found in rowan berries.

A protective (or modified) atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen and that fills the empty space (headspace) in a container and improves the shelf life of the product.

When it comes to the wild berries of the Nordic forests, the only sustainable and cost-effective method of picking is by hand. This way, we can ensure the high quality of the berries and the preservation of nature. Developing a mechanical picking method would require vast research and advancement of technology before it would be sustainably feasible on a large scale due to remote forests in hard-to-reach, wild, and delicate terrain.

In Finland, two companies are currently under investigation for unfair activity, but the investigation is still ongoing and no one has been found guilty yet. We have zero tolerance for employee abuse.  We acquire our raw ingredients strictly from companies that disclose their personnel matters responsibly and openly.

In production, the berries are crushed so they take up less space: the shell and seeds break, and the containing water is released. We also add some water. The amount of additional water needed depends on the berry, since some berries contain more water than others. For example, fresh wild bilberries are about 80% water. So to answer the question, nothing is removed, and for instance, there are 140 whole berries in Wild Bilberry Berrie container with every part of the berry included (calculated quantity: 139).
