A Producer Rooted in the Nature of Lapland
Jokkmokksbär operates in Jokkmokk, surrounded by wetlands, forests and mountains where berries and wild plants grow naturally – untouched by cultivation or pesticides. The Arctic climate, with bright summer nights and a slow ripening process, allows the ingredients to develop deep, natural flavours and aromas.
The business is run by Petra, who continues the local tradition of berry processing with great passion and respect for the surrounding nature.
Genuine Food Craft – Everything Made by Hand
At Jokkmokksbär, the entire production process is manual. Every step is done by hand – cooking, balancing flavours, bottling and labelling. This small-scale approach allows Petra to follow each batch closely and let the natural character of the ingredients guide the process.
In practice, this craftsmanship includes:
Small batches: Cooking in limited quantities to preserve flavour and quality.
Natural ingredients: No unnecessary additives or industrial shortcuts.
Manual bottling: Each jar and bottle is filled and labelled by hand.
It is a slow and meticulous process, resulting in products with pure flavours and a clear sense of origin.
Local Pickers and Close Collaborations
Much of the quality begins in nature. Jokkmokksbär collaborates with local pickers who have extensive experience reading the landscape, following the seasons and finding the best growing spots. This creates a sustainable raw material chain built on knowledge, respect and responsible harvesting.
Flavours Shaped by the Arctic Climate
The berries and plants used by Jokkmokksbär reflect the character of northern Sweden – from the rich sweetness of cloudberries to the fresh acidity of blueberries and the clean, bright flavour of lingonberries. There are also more exclusive ingredients such as arctic bramble (åkerbär), which thrives in the cool climate and offers a uniquely aromatic profile.
The Arctic light, cold temperatures and slow ripening give the berries an intensity of flavour that is hard to find anywhere else.
A Small-Scale Company Guided by Nature
Jokkmokksbär combines tradition with handcraft in every aspect of its work. By allowing the process to remain slow, attentive and manual, the natural expression of each ingredient is preserved. It is a way of working grounded in respect – for nature, for the raw materials and for the local knowledge that has grown from living close to the landscape.
