We import from
Mongolia · Mongoliet
From Mongolia's vast steppes come pine nuts and sea buckthorn — wild ingredients of extreme purity, foraged where the sky is bluer than anywhere else on Earth.
History
The nomadic culture from the time of Genghis Khan (1162–1227) lives on — a land of open horizons, eternal sky (Tengri) and ancient Silk Road trade. After seven decades of Soviet influence, since 1990 the country has been one of Asia's most functioning democracies.
Lifestyle
Steppe, horses, gers and the land of the eternal blue sky. A life shaped by movement, seasonal migration and an unbreakable bond with nature and livestock. The Naadam festival every July — wrestling, horse racing, archery.
Gastronomy
Buuz (steamed dumplings), khorkhog (stone-cooked mutton), khuushuur, suutei tsai (salted milk tea). Pine nuts and sea buckthorn are Mongolia's wild treasures — sea buckthorn richer in vitamin C than any citrus.
The people & families
Nomadic families sharing a bowl of pine nuts and tea in their ger while children ride out to the herd. A rugged but open hospitality — a stranger riding past is always offered a meal.
Landscapes & farms
The Khangai mountains where pine nuts grow wild. The Gobi desert in the south. The Selenge river valleys in the north where sea buckthorn thrives. No fences, no roads — just steppe rolling toward the horizon.
Arts, music & literature
Khoomei (throat singing), morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), the epic Geser cycle, contemporary artists like Tugs-Oyun and writers like Galsan Tschinag.
Our partnership
We buy directly from nomadic cooperatives that hand-forage in late summer. The money goes entirely back to the families and preserves their traditional way of life.
The journey to you
Wild-foraged nuts and sea buckthorn are air-freighted from Ulaanbaatar via Frankfurt to Sweden to preserve freshness and nutritional value — the only one of our routes that flies, because the quality demands it.
