About us

Nordic Caraway is the world's largest caraway seed producer and processor. In addition to caraway seeds and essential oil, our product portfolio covers also coriander seeds and essential oil as well as oil hemp seeds, oil, protein, and hulled seeds. With our three separate production facilities, each dedicated to one seed type only, we can ensure the purest products without any unwanted odors or flavors.

Located in Finland, our caraway, coriander and oil hemp fields enjoy the sun that shines day and night in the summer. It ripens the seeds particularly aromatic and rich in essential oil. The cool climate also helps to reduce the need for pesticides. The adverse effects of monoculture are avoided by using effective crop rotation. Caraway actually improves the soil for other crops. With our optimized farming methods in the clean Nordic environment, we can ensure the purest end product with high oil content and low microbiological content, even size and colour as well as consistent quality. 

The backbone of our production is the network of contract farmers. Educated, professional and dedicated, they utilize the latest technology and continuously increase their know-how on caraway farming. Nordic Caraway works in close collaboration with several agricultural research centres to further optimize the production and spread the knowledge. 

As a leading producer of high-quality seeds and essential oils, we recognize the importance of preserving our environment, supporting our communities, and ensuring the long-term viability of our natural resources.
