We are well aware that the planet we live in belongs to our children, and we work every day to protect its resources. For you and all those who would like to make a good choice, we select truly genuine raw materials working in accordance with our tradition.
We adore the authentic taste that only nature can give, so we use no added flavorings or colors nor hydrogenated or trans fats.
We prefer to buy from suppliers close to us, such as Italy, Austria and Germany. We have our own hazelnut plantations in Tuscany and our own milk derivative plant in South Tyrol.
Ingredients which cannot be grown in Europe are sourced from other parts in the world such as South America, West Africa and South-east Asia.
We prefer doing business on equal terms with our partners, who share our guiding principles on fair and sustainable management.
