TAKE A MOMENT
Finding time for ourselves can be difficult in the manic modern world – and if we do manage to, we often feel guilty about it. But we at Ricola believe that slowing down is key to our happiness, which is why we are dedicated to cultivating widespread wellbeing. Through our refreshing herbal sweets, free from artificial colours and flavours, we hope to make small moments of calm, enjoyment and appreciation possible for everyone. Ricola’s founder, Emil Richterich, was a nature lover with a creative spirit. The Swiss master baker felt certain that the power of nature could be harnessed to create something that tasted good and served a positive purpose, and so he began experimenting with various herbal combinations. The result was a unique 13-herb blend – now more than 80 years old, but still the basis of all Ricola sweets. The wellbeing of the environment is equally important to Ricola. We are passionate about contributing to a world that people like to live in, which is why a great deal of attention, respect and responsibility goes into each of its products, as well as high-quality herbs. Ricola is uncompromising when it comes to quality, sustainability and social commitment and we do our best protecting biodiversity, using resources considerately and building trusting, cooperative relationships with farmers. Ricola doesn’t believe in using chemical pesticides and fertilisers, and every herb is cultivated with care in the Swiss mountains away from pollution.
