Discover the power of the Arctic bilberry, nature's own treasure trove of nutrients.

Polarica Group is dedicated to refining a wide range of products derived from Arctic bilberries, supplying them to the global food and pharmaceutical industries, Foodservice and Retail sector. These wild blueberries, known as Arctic bilberries, are harvested from the pristine forests of northern Finland and Sweden, where they thrive abundantly. Their distinct characteristics, including a spherical shape, dark blue waxy exterior, and vibrant blue interior, differentiate them from cultivated highbush blueberries.

Wild Arctic bilberries flourish due to favorable growing conditions, including long summer nights and ample sunlight. Within just 8-10 weeks, these delicate flowers transform into ripe, flavorful fruits. The perpetual sunlight in the northern Arctic Circle region during the summer season, known as the phenomenon of the midnight sun, contributes to the elevated levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols found in these berries.

Polarica takes great care in handpicking bilberries from forests in northern Finland and Sweden, ensuring their exceptional quality.
Committed to responsible harvesting and production, Polarica holds a deep respect for nature, prioritizes the well-being of their pickers, and emphasizes the preservation of biodiversity.

Polarica Group produces juices, jams, purees, dried products, and frozen berries made from bilberries for the industrial, foodservice, and retail sectors. These products are marketed under the Polarica and Kaskein brands, as well as private labels for retail customers.

Legend has it that during World War II, British Royal Air Force pilots would consume wild blueberry jam before their night missions. They believed that the high levels of antioxidants in the blueberries would improve their night vision and enhance their performance in the dark. While the exact scientific basis for this claim may be debated, it reflects the long-standing belief in the beneficial properties of wild blueberries. Whether it's their rich taste or potential health benefits, wild blueberries have captured the imagination and admiration of people throughout history.
