AtSauce: Europe’s Only Industrial-Scale Fermentation Pioneer

How Finnish Fermentation Grew into a Million-Euro Business

Fermentation has never not been part of Finnish living. Extended winters, brief growing seasons, and the necessity for preserving freshness inspired centuries of culinary creativity. AtSauce didn't create the tradition, they built on it. What started in a simple concept, that of sharing the taste and health properties of fermented foods, has evolved into a multi-million euro business.

Their secret? Remaining authentic to their origins but all in on scale. By developing world-class fermentation facilities, AtSauce was the first in Europe to make fermented garlic, chilies, peppers, and herbs on an industrial scale, without sacrificing quality or authenticity.

A Bold and Diverse Fermented Product Range

You won't be served anything dull here. AtSauce produces the following products: 

• Fermented garlic
• Fermented chili
• Red and green bell peppers
• Black pepper

To pack each jar with the big, spicy, rich flavors only real fermentation can provide, and the added benefit of natural probiotics that aid digestion and gut health. Spoon them over a dish, stir them into sauces, or employ them as your secret kitchen ingredient, these foods bring meals alive.

The Magic and Wisdom of Millennia Behind Fermentation

Fermentation is far more than a preservation method. It is a transformative process that converts simple raw ingredients into living foods teeming with beneficial bacteria. These probiotics play a vital role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being.

AtSauce honors this ancient wisdom by combining traditional fermentation techniques with modern food safety and quality controls. The result is a line of products that maintain their live cultures and rich flavors, bringing both taste and health benefits to consumers.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Current production doesn't have to be done at the expense of the planet. The facilities at AtSauce are planned with a consideration for the environment. From reducing waste to maximizing energy efficiency, sustainability is not an afterthought, but rather part of the plan.

Their process of fermentation is respectful to nature, and their model of sourcing lists organic and local where available first. The outcome? A product you can feel good about from a health and environmental perspective.

Meeting Modern Consumer and Industry Needs

Today’s consumers increasingly seek natural, clean-label products that support health without sacrificing taste. AtSauce’s fermented vegetables and herbs answer that call, offering probiotic-rich, versatile ingredients perfect for a variety of culinary uses.

For chefs, food manufacturers, and retailers, AtSauce’s industrial capacity provides a reliable supply of high-quality fermented products. This combination of heritage, innovation, and scale positions AtSauce as a key player in Europe’s evolving food landscape.
