Heart of Herbs
Swiss Alpine herbs are the heart of Ricola. Explore our universe of natural flavours – from careful cultivation to the unique taste experience of our drops melting on your tongue.
10 Swiss Alpine herbs in one blend
A few decades ago, Swiss confectioner Emil Richterich set out to craft a delicious drop from herbal extracts. Fascinated by their characteristic flavours, he created a distinctive blend that became the basis for us to develop Ricola herbal drops today.
The Way to Our Herbal Drops
Ideal Growing Conditions
In Switzerland, each of our herbs are grown with considerations of their ideal growing conditions.
Dedicated Cultivation Practices
Our experienced cultivation partners grow their herbs with dedication and attention. They practice sustainable crop rotation and avoid synthetics so to maintain the organic soil's fertility. The herbs are harvested when they reach their peak of valuable ingredients.
The Ricola Process
At Ricola, the freshly harvested herbs are gently dried, cleaned, and cut. We then blend them in a precise balance before extracting their special flavours and active properties through our exclusive process. This is how the herbal blend of Ricola products is created.
