A partir de la ferme

Intensely flavoured aromatic cheeses from the Laces-Martello holiday area The high mountain environment of the Venosta Valley has always been associated with mountain pastures and dairies. Since medieval times, butter and cheese have been produced in the mountain pastures. Even today, dairy products such as natural butter, yoghurt, cottage cheese and cream are still made there, particulary alpine cheese and local specialities such as "Graukas". At the Gandhof typical cheese types were produced.

In the farm dairy, the milk from cows, goats and sheep is processed into fine raw milk cheese. Even goose eggs find new use with us, so the farmer's wife makes from them artful unique pieces.

The herb castle in Coldrano attracts attention from afar. The radiant yellow of the facade seems like a splash of colour, a shooting one, in the midst of large-scale, green and groomed apple orchads. It is indeed a small paradise for the senses, a botanical world of its own. Nature in spades, a sea of blossoms aromatically fragrant, spreads out in the herb garden and lovingly encloses the show garden of the herb castle. However, herbs are not only to be found on the ground at the herb castle, but also at lofty heights. On the roof terrace we have set up a love nest, the love garden. Everything is free accesible to everyone, 7 days a week.
In the herb fields in Coldrano (700m above sea level) and Taufers/Tubres (1.400m above sea level) the herbs are cultivated, harvested, dehumidified and refined into quality products from 3 generations with much diligence and love. In keeping with the ecological cultivated methods of the "Bund alternativer Anbau" (association of alternative growers), plant growth is promoted trough targeted soil cultivation, diversity in cultivation and oragnic fertiliser.
The variety in the fields is as rich as the product selection in the farm shop - a real treasure trove for the environmentally conscious:
-herbs, tea and spice blends, herbal salt, pasta, vinegrads and oil
-honeys and fruit honeys from our own apiary
-fruit spreads, syrups, chocolates and sweets
-healing oinments, cosmetics and perfume

The farm shop is open 7 days a week, all products are also available online.
Guided tours are available on request with a minimum of 10 participants.

The scheme to promote mountaineering villages in the Alpine regions supports environmentally-friendly, natural tourism. The network unites villages with a thriving natural and cultural landscape, which have been spared major technical innovations and where mountains and mountaineering are an integral part of the identity.
From leisurely “Waalweg” irrigation-channel trails through to the three-thousand metre climbs – enjoy all the authenticity of the Matsch Valley. The living traditions and customs offer you an insight into the active village community, and a stop-off to wander round the castle ruins at the entrance to the village brings the dreaded Matsch robber-barons back to fearsome life.
