Every herb has unique requirements that need to be met if it is to become healthy and strong. This is why our cultivation methods are aligned with the various climates, sites and soil conditions. In Emmental and the southern foothills of the Jura mountains, acidic soil and relatively high rainfall create the ideal environment in which to grow peppermint crops. Meanwhile, the warm, dry climate and light, stony soil in Valais and the Val Poschiavo valley – sometimes at altitudes of 1,000 metres above sea level – are ideal for the cultivation of sage and thyme.
