Poutasen Puutarha is a cultivation and processing company based in Parikkala, in the Saimaa region of Finland. The company specialises in specialty root crops grown in Finland and high-value processed products made from them. Poutasen Puutarha has been granted the right to use the D.O. Saimaa designation of origin for its arctic ginger and arctic turmeric.
The company’s strength lies in managing the entire production chain, from cultivation to finished products. Arctic ginger and arctic turmeric are grown under carefully controlled greenhouse conditions in Parikkala, ensuring the quality, origin and traceability of the raw materials throughout the process.
Poutasen Puutarha is best known for its arctic ginger and its seasonal Baby Ginger, harvested at a young stage. With its fresh flavour and juicy texture, Baby Ginger is highly valued by restaurants and professional kitchens. Its limited season and Finnish origin make it an excellent example of the company’s ability to produce in Finland raw materials that are usually available only through long import chains.
The company also grows arctic turmeric and Baby Turmeric, further expanding its unique range of specialty root crops.
Arctic Elixir® is Poutasen Puutarha’s product brand, where the company’s cultivation and processing expertise is transformed into food supplements and skincare products. The products utilise, among other carefully selected ingredients, CO₂ extracts made from the company’s own arctic ginger.
Poutasen Puutarha / Arctic Elixir® combines local production, modern greenhouse expertise and high-value processing into a unique concept where Saimaa origin, quality and responsible production are at the heart of everything they do.
"The D.O. Saimaa designation is an important recognition of the work we have done with arctic ginger and arctic turmeric. Growing these crops in Finland requires expertise, time and carefully controlled conditions. For us, it is essential that the origin, production methods and quality of our raw materials are reflected throughout the entire chain – from cultivation to fresh products and finished Arctic Elixir® products."
