A love for nature, passed down for over thirty years.
“A story of love for nature, clean products and passion for the best quality.”
Otgorata — от гората — means “from the forest” in Bulgarian. It is where our family has gathered berries, mushrooms and mountain herbs for more than three decades.
What started as a household tradition — jars of jam on the shelf, mushrooms drying by the window, bundles of mountain tea for the winter — has grown into a small producer sharing those same flavours with kitchens across Europe.
We still work the way we always have: picking by hand, cooking slowly, drying gently, and refusing to add anything that doesn’t belong. The forest sets the pace; we simply follow it.
Two places. One family story.
Our family’s story is rooted in two places in the mountains of south-western Bulgaria. They are where our love for the forest, and for food made with care, began.
Each product page states where that product comes from.
From the mountain to the jar
Berries, mushrooms and herbs are picked by hand, in season, from clean mountain areas of Bulgaria.
Jams are cooked the same day in small batches; mushrooms and herbs are air-dried at low temperature.
Every batch is tasted, checked and labelled by people who care about it.
Packed with care and shipped to shops, restaurants and homes across the European Union.
European eco & natural
We are proud to be a small European producer. Our ingredients are grown or gathered in Bulgaria, our products are made in the EU, and we ship within Europe — short supply chains, honest food.
