Ricola Melissa Limoncella herb drops

Ricola is one of the most famous Swiss confectionery brands, globally recognized for its herbal drops made with a signature blend of thirteen herbs grown in the Swiss mountains. The brand was founded in 1930 by Emil Richterich in Laufen, Switzerland, following his creation of the original herb drop recipe. The name 'Ricola' itself is an abbreviation of the founder's name and original company location: Richterich & Company Laufen.

Today, Ricola remains a family-owned business, headquartered in Laufen, Switzerland. It is managed by the third and fourth generations of the Richterich family. The manufacturing process is strictly centralized in Switzerland to maintain the quality and authenticity associated with the 'Swiss Made' label. The herbs used in the products are cultivated by hundreds of independent Swiss farmers without the use of chemical pesticides or herbicides, ensuring the brand's commitment to natural ingredients and traditional Swiss agriculture.
