Product development is the most important stage in the life cycle of a food product. During the process, we create the product’s taste profile, select the raw materials, define the product’s value proposition and build the foundation for cost-effective industrial production. As a pioneer in food product development, we can bear responsibility for the entire process, from product specifications to shelf life tests.
We perform the tests in our own food laboratory and, if necessary, in an accredited partner laboratory. Alternatively, we can develop the product in cooperation with the customer.
“We were thinking about making our own flavored butter for our restaurant. I contacted Lieksa’s Quality Treats and then things started to happen.
The product was ready for the first taste test in just one week and for production in three weeks. The first products packaged according to our brand were completed six weeks after the first contact.”

With four modern lines, we produce cold-preservable food products from soups to purées and from porridge to curds. We manufacture our quarks using the traditional whey extraction method. The entire manufacturing process is governed by the quality system FSSC 22000.
We cool hot products quickly with suction cooling, which ensures excellent shelf life. We use six automated packaging lines. In addition, the pallet packing of the sales lot has been robotized. We store refrigerated fresh products in our own 0–+4 degree cold storage to await transport to central stores or stores. We also have a cold storage and a warm storage.
We have good contacts with reliable suppliers of raw materials and packaging materials. Therefore, we can facilitate the customer’s work by taking responsibility for the procurement of raw materials and packaging materials.
