TOP-GRADE INGREDIENTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS TO PROSPER

COMPANY

Founded in Ukraine in 2011 by Vasyl Chamor and a team of professionals with extensive experience in wild berry sourcing and processing, our company was built around a clear ambition: to raise quality standards and develop reliable, long-term partnerships in the European market.

What began as a small processing facility with a single cold-storage chamber has grown steadily over the years. Today, our production site operates two advanced electronic berry-sorting lines and has the capacity to process up to 30 tonnes of IQF products per day.

Quality and responsible sourcing have been at the heart of our development from the very beginning. The company obtained its first organic certification in 2013 and has continued to build its operations around internationally recognised quality and food-safety standards. Our quality certifications and audits remain current and are regularly renewed.

One of the milestones we are particularly proud of was becoming the first company in Ukraine to obtain Naturland certification in 2013. Over the following years, we grew to become one of Ukraine’s largest suppliers of Naturland-certified products, building long-standing relationships with customers across Europe.

We maintained our Naturland certification through 2025. Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the operational challenges it has brought to both the country and our business, we made the difficult decision to temporarily pause the certification process.

We intend to renew our Naturland certification as circumstances allow. While the certification itself is currently on pause, the standards behind it are not: responsible sourcing, product quality and responsible production practices remain an integral part of the way we work.

The past few years have tested Ukrainian businesses in ways few could have anticipated. We continue to work, adapt and move forward — investing in our operations, supporting our partners and our team, and looking to the future of Ukraine’s wild berry sector with confidence.

PRODUCTS

Top-grade products with a fine regard for detail

Consumer demand and quality expectations for products continue to steadily increase. We are proud to offer organic options and be one of the market leaders in terms of quality.

We take pride in our product and upholding our name. We strive to supply consistent high quality and flavorful berries, mushrooms and nuts for your business to prosper.

Conventional

PROCESSING

The collection area is extensive, covering five regions of Ukraine: Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Rivne and Volyn.

In addition to our standard range, we also source wild blueberries from the Carpathian region for customers with specific requirements, including berries with low Becquerel levels and a high anthocyanin content.

Freshly harvested berries reach our production facility within four hours of collection and immediately enter a pre-cooling corridor at -5°C. They are then transferred to freezing chambers, where they remain for approximately 20 hours at -35°C. Once frozen, the berries are moved to cold-storage chambers maintained at -22°C to -25°C, where they remain until calibration, sorting and packing, which are carried out at -7°C.

The processing line begins with a spiral conveyor, where stems and other foreign material are removed. The berries then pass through a fanning mill and, where required, a calibrator, followed by mechanical and electronic cleaning.

One of the key features of our production line is a custom-designed optical sorting system equipped with 16 colour video cameras, providing a 360° view of the berries during inspection. The system has a processing capacity of up to 2.5 tons per hour.

Following optical sorting, the berries proceed to the quality-control line, where they undergo additional visual and manual inspection. The product then passes through magnetic separation before being transferred to a storage hopper, where it is automatically weighed and packed according to predefined parameters.

At this stage, radiation measurements and spot checks are carried out to ensure that the finished product complies with the required specifications. Before palletisation, every bag or carton passes through a metal detector. The detector itself is tested for accuracy three times a day.

Today, Amethyst Ole operates four freezing chambers with a combined capacity of 48 tons at -35°C, as well as four cold-storage chambers capable of holding up to 1,170 tons of frozen produce at -25°C.

Our production facilities allow us to process and manufacture up to 30 tons of frozen produce per day.

CERTIFICATES

Since 2011, we have been committed to supplying high quality produce. It has taken years of research and development to establish best practices and sustain a successful supply program. We have learned along the way, and for that, we believe it has made us better specialists.
We are committed to using the industry's best practices in every phase of production. As part of this commitment, we constantly strive for the highest domestic and international certification standards
in the food industry.

Food safety and product quality are the two most important factors in growing, collecting and processing our fresh berries, mushrooms and nuts. From the field and forest to harvesting and through production, Amethyst Ole strives to assure food safety standards and effective tracking of both its organic and conventional products.
