Salohiili is a charcoal, biochar, and firewood producer based in Pielavesi, founded in 1990 and run by Aimo Lipponen. Their barbecue and forge charcoal is made from Finnish birch and packed without plastic. The charcoal is produced using machinery designed and built in-house, developed specifically for this purpose. Where the process once relied on a kiln, today the birch is dried in a boiler with very limited oxygen, resulting in a clean, consistent charcoal well suited for cooking over fire.

Viltgården, based in Fagervik Bay in Inkoo, works with wild game from Finnish forests, mainly deer and moose. The meat comes from local hunting teams in Uusimaa and Varsinais-Suomi and is cut and packed by their own small team at Viltgården’s slaughterhouse in Inkoo. Their approach is rooted in careful, selective hunting and a deep understanding of wildlife populations. By working in step with the forests and their inhabitants, Viltgården offers an ethical, transparent alternative to farmed meat.
