How are South Tyrolean herbs and spices produced?

Ample sun and warmth form the foundation for the diversity of aromas characteristic of South Tyrolean herbs and spices. Clean mountain air and careful farming practices also go a long way. Harvesting at ‘tempo balsamico,’ the optimal harvest time, ensures that plants are full of a maximum of active constituents. The dried blossoms, herbs and spices are then specially packaged to protect their aromas so that every bit of flavour is preserved.
