Our Story
Ahto Vegmann, co-founder
Around 8-9 years old, I landed in the hospital. I just had a birthday, and a myriad of colored candy and drinks containing unknown substances traveling to my mouth elicited a decent allergic reaction.
This early lesson urged me to value pure food. I am from Estonia, a small cozy spot in Northern Europe where forests and bogs blanket half the land. Nordic region boasts some of the purest air and cleanest waters in the world.
Growing up, I formed a deep bond with wild nature, relying on wild berries and herbs as remedies when I was sick. For centuries wild berries and herbs have always had a place in the region here in folk medicine to treat various illnesses. This all nurtured my connection to natural medicine and organic food.
Post university, I asked myself what I would like to do with my life which would match my values. I wanted to contribute something meaningful which would be good both for people’s health and environment. In 2008, I co-founded LOOV to share the rare and powerful nourishment of the Nordic forests and plants with the whole world.
What sets us apart?
Quality as Our North Star:
It all begins in the wild forests on the northern latitudes.LOOV's foundation rests upon the use of pristine raw materials, meticulous processing techniques, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of the final products. We source our raw organic ingredients mainly from the pristine wild forests and the landscapes of the Nordic nature. Nordic countries boast some of the purest air and cleanest waters in the world! The natural gifts grown here are exceptionally rich in health-beneficial antioxidants due to the Nordic climate.
Northern nature and an abundance of light give the wild berries a unique consistency and nutritional value. Finland and Sweden have the world’s largest organic-cerfified forest berry areas.
Why does climate make a difference?
The clean untouched growing environment for forest berries is vast, since 86 % of Finland and 70% of Sweden is covered by forests. In mid-summer, there are 19 hours of daylight in southern Finland, and in the northern Arctic Circle region the sun does not set at all. According to studies, this abundance of light promotes the formation of antioxidants compounds. Due to Finland’s and Sweden’s northern location, Arctic bilberries (wild blueberries) that grow wild in the forests form extremely high levels of antioxidants.
All our products are made in Europe, we never source from China. You can check the origin of the raw ingredients and country where the product has been made on every package. We have a strict quality control procedures to audit our partners and we do regular analyses to the products. We use cutting edge freeze drying technology to lock in all the good nutrients in our superfoods products and devote exceptional focus to ensuring top-notch quality.
Naturally organic, celebrating 15 years!
We never became organic, we started organic since birth of LOOV in 2008. Organic is good for health and nature. We are organic in our heart and mindset. We see organic also as a way to contribute to the preservation of clean water sources, soil, bees, forests, biodiversity, wildlife and the ecosystem. Our products are all free from GMOs, glyphosates, pesticides, preservatives, synthetic dyes, fillers, binders artificial sweeteners and additives.
