About us
Vinkymon is a company that brings two Nordic superfoods with distinctive character to Estonian food culture – black garlic and Japanese quince. The company combines taste experience, healthiness, and innovation. Vinkymon has been operating in the Estonian organic landscape since 2012 and has become well known over time for both its black garlic products and beverages made from Japanese quince.
Vinkymon’s approach is simple: to create products that are simultaneously delicious, healthy, and innovative.
The charm of flowering quince
In addition to black garlic products, Vinkymon is also known for its beverages made from flowering quince. Flowering quince is often called the Nordic lemon because its fruits contain a high amount of fruit acids, especially citric acid.
Flowering quince is a very beneficial fruit – its vitamin C content is comparable to that of lemon. In addition, it contains B-group vitamins, carotenoids, and flavonoids. The pulp is rich in pectin and tannins, but flowering quince contains very little sugar.
Vinkymon’s products have received multiple recognitions. Among them:
● best product from a small entrepreneur in Virumaa
● best beverage from a small entrepreneur in Virumaa
● best health product
● best organic product
● as well as gold, silver, and bronze titles at the “Best Estonian Beverages” competition.
The uniqueness of black garlic
Vinkymon is also the creator of the black garlic dinner concept in this region. In 2025, four exclusive 5-course dinners took place in Rakvere, Tartu, Kõiguste, and Tallinn, all of which were sold out.
Similar events are very rare in Europe. To our knowledge, the only comparable initiative is Black Garlic Events operating in England, which offers private dinners and special menus centered around black garlic.
Vinkymon offers several black garlic products that make it easy to incorporate this superfood into everyday meals – for example, various sauces and marinades, a total of four different products, including a special black garlic mustard.
In addition, a black garlic bread has been developed in cooperation with Fazer Estonia. Its name is Nordic sandwich bread with black garlic, and each loaf contains six cloves of black garlic.
Beverage production and innovation
In addition to its own products, Vinkymon also offers personalized beverage production solutions. The company’s bottling line enables flexible and compact beverage solutions for both smaller and larger brands.
Vinkymon can produce:
● lemonades
● tonics
● functional beverages
● craft and premium beverages
● carbonated and non-carbonated drinks
Beverages can be filled into both aluminum cans and glass bottles. It is also possible to use digitally printed aluminum cans, which are particularly well suited for smaller test batches, special editions, or exclusive launches.
