ERBE TICINO PROJECT
We work using only zero-kilometer products, which are carefully selected and exclusively nature-fed. Cofti.ch SA, promoter of the project, aims to promote the territory, enhancing the qualitative culture of herbs through the products of our land, bringing innovation and creativity but remaining faithfully anchored to local traditions and knowledge. We also have an active component in the socio-professional field.
The quality and freshness of our herbs follow the principles of organic farming and derive from controlled cultivations in the Swiss territory.
Officinal plants are the heart of all Erbe Ticino products.
Mission
The Erbe Ticino project stems from the desire of local investors to relaunch the Cofit Cooperative, a company that has represented reality in the Blenio Valley specialized in the cultivation, processing, and sale of products based on medicinal herbs from Ticino, to safeguard the plantations of the mountain regions. The Cofit products’ revival has been possible thanks to the synergy among Ticino’s small production companies that allows cofti.ch SA to reintroduce unique products with a high-quality standard that fulfill the “zero-kilometer” philosophy. For this reason and thanks to the reinterpretation of the Ticino traditions in a respectful and modern way. Cofti.ch SA is now able to offer products that fully reflect its style and values.
Partner and social responsibility
Social responsibility is at the heart of the project not only in terms of economic sustainability, which concerns the protection of local producers and the intention to hire local staff but also in terms of social and environmental sustainability. The project is active in the socio-professional field thanks to the collaboration with the foundations Diamante, La Fonte, OTAF, San Gottardo, and Caritas Ticino.
At the same time, an important part of the Erbe Ticino project is represented by environmental sustainability, given primarily by the authenticity of the products: “all the farmers with whom we collaborate are certified bio Suisse, it is a mark of quality and origin“.
