The company’s products have received professional recognition on numerous occasions. Yarilo Spravzhniy kvass was recognized at the International Competition for Beer, Non-Alcoholic, Lightly Carbonated Beverages, Mineral and Drinking Water, and Brewing Malt as part of the All-Ukrainian Kvass Festival, winning ten awards and diplomas.
Yarilo kvass and Gardenz cider have also been repeatedly awarded at Ukrainian tasting competitions in 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2025. In 2025, Yarylo kvass received a gold award at the Favorite Food&Drinks 2025 tasting competition. In 2026, Toosecco cider won a gold medal at the Favorite Food&Drinks 2026 Ukrainian International Tasting Competition in the alcohol and alcoholic beverages category.
Gardenz cider is produced at the company’s plant in Zaporizhia using fresh apple juice and wine yeast. This approach preserves the natural taste of the drink, creates a clean fermentation profile, and avoids the addition of foreign ingredients. Gardenz combines classic cider culture with a modern approach to assortment and packaging.
In 2026, the company redesigned Gardenz cider: the visual identity of PET bottles and metal cans was updated, making the packaging more modern, recognizable, and convenient for the consumer.
The company has its own frozen foods packaging line. The food safety management system at the enterprise meets all the requirements of DSTU ISO 22000: 2007 standards that ensure ongoing manufacturing of high-quality and safe products.
We offer over 80 food items produced at our production line under our own brands:
- SKANDINAVIKA™ – frozen seafood;
- POLAR STAR™ – frozen seafood;
- SPELA™ – frozen vegetables, berries, mushrooms.
We also manufacture products under clients’ private labels, including Ukrainian leading retail chains and those clients who work with ethnic grocery stores that carry mainly specialty products not found in mainstream supermarkets in Canada, the US and Israel.
Our manufacture facilities are located within Kyiv near the main office, which allows us to quickly respond to customer requests, control and adjust all order parameters in accordance with their needs and demands.
The installed production line packs products both from our raw materials and our clients’ raw materials (according to their exclusive recipes). Our production capacity is up to 10,000 packages per shift, accompanied by a complete package of necessary documents and permits (specifications, barcode, and quality certificates).
Another advantage is the specialized delivery of manufactured products to the customer and the end user. The company uses exclusively our own heavy duty trucks and other vehicles fitted with refrigeration units that maintain the recommended storage temperature regimes.
