Heinän puutarha in Salo is Finland's largest chilli producer. A family business in operation since 1999, Heinän today grows over 50 different varieties of chilis, ranging from the very mild to extremely hot – as well as varieties of bell peppers. On site the chilis are dried, processed and made into premium spice mixes and a number of others spicy products such as their signature chili chocolate.

Peltola Farm has been in operation since 1847, with a creamery running since the 1940s. Based in Suonenjoki, they produce artisan dairy including traditional blue cheese and churned butter. Animal wellbeing is central to their approach, and their cows are fed fodder grown on the farm — including red clover, which the team believes adds depth and character to the flavour of their products.
