The landscape in the Lavanttal Alps is one of the most beautiful valleys in southern Austria with particularly favourable climatic characteristics. The region is known, among other things, for its numerous, landscape-defining fruit trees, a special experience in spring when the scent of thousands of blossoms is in the air, or in June and July when the alpine bush blossom transforms the alpine meadows into bright, red carpets of blooming alpine roses.
Nestled between the Koralpe and Saualpe mountain ranges, this southern alpine region located at 800-1,000m elevations is ideally suited for the cultivation of several different mountain herbs that flourish across the meadows. The herbs are grown according to organic standards and completely without the use of chemicals.
Cultivation is largely only possible by hand, and the harvest is performed in part by hand and in part with machinery. Due to the climatic conditions, irrigation is not necessary. Within 1-2 hours after harvest, the herbs are gently dried in a cabinet dryer at 40°C for 12-24 hours. Thereafter the herbs are roughly cut and packaged. The dried herbs are not sprayed, light-treated, or processed further.
