We have established ARONIA Ireland Ltd. to design, develop and deliver effective and appealing aronia berry products to consumers. Aronia berries have amazing properties and health benefits, thanks to their exceptionally high polyphenol content.
We are applying extensive science based nutritional insight and consumer understanding to create a range of innovative aronia berry products under our PhyterBerry™ brand with clear compelling proposition.
With world renowned nutritional expertise and multinational marketing experience, we continue to bring the amazing health benefits of Aronia to market. We have created a high value nutraceutical range which we continue to convert aronia berry extract into concentrated polyphenol powders and capsules, while also using the juice as a refreshing tonic type product and concentrated essence.

Good for you, good for society and good for the environment
We have a holistic vision here at Aronia Ireland Ltd. and we aspire to develop healthy aronia products that also contribute to public health, the environment and the economy more broadly.
The aronia berry products we are developing draw upon cutting edge scientific thinking on how diets can help prevent the most critical public health problems of our time
We are further catalysing the vital changes towards plant-based nutrition. Aronia can thrive in the climate of Ireland and the UK. This will assist the agricultural sector in meeting its obligations to address climate change
Supporting farmers to grow Aronia bushes and creating demand for the berries will provide a high value crop, diversifying away from prevailing carbon intensity and opening an opportunity from change
In addition to our R&D programme, Steve’s organic certified farm in West Cork is the first in Ireland to establish a commercial Aronia berry plantation. We are also working with a major UK estate commenced planting aronia in 2022.
Health Benefits of Aronia
Aronia berries, which are also known as chokeberries, are a genuine power food. The benefits of aronia berries to human health are only now being fully understood.
Aronia berries have one of the highest polyphenol contents of any berry or vegetable – much higher than popular products such as acai berries and turmeric.
By designing specific dietary supplements with
exceptionally high polyphenol content, we offer a unique, natural and sustainable range of products that have huge potential to contribute to better health.
What are Polyphenols?
Polyphenols are a range of chemical compounds that constitute the core immune system of plants, functioning to fight infections and deter predators. Polyphenols are strong antioxidants and have a wide range of physiological benefits that improve human health.
Powerful long-term prospective research studies show increased polyphenol intakes are associated with more than 30% reductions in all-cause mortality and cut cardiovascular mortality in half.
However, currently average dietary intake of polyphenols is very low in many European countries, especially Ireland and the UK.
Health Benefits of Polyphenols
There are a large and rapidly increasing number of studies showing various potential benefits from polyphenols across a wide range of areas linked to metabolic health such as:
- Cardiovascular function
- Inflammation and changes associated with ageing,
- Cognitive function
- Infections
- Anti-viral activity
- Diabetic Control
- Gut and microbiome health
- Skin condition
