We work using only zero kilometer products which are carefully selected and exclusively nature-fed.  Our Ticino’s farmers and the agricultural company of Mezzana work together to obtain high quality medicinal herbs, according to the organic farming standards.
The processing is largely still done hand-harvesting.

The herbs come from the cantonal Demanio of Gudo, but there are also other smaller producers: Caritas Ticino in Biasca and Pomatt in Capriasca.
Our herbs are certified organic quality.

The Erbe Ticino project stems from the desire of local investors to relaunch the Cofit Cooperative, a company that has represented a reality in the Blenio Valley specialized in the cultivation, processing and sale of products based on medicinal herbs from Ticino, with the aim of safeguarding the plantations of the mountain regions. 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.
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.

The Erbe Ticino project is also characterized by an active component in the socio-professional field.
This is an integration project that supports cofti.ch SA efforts to promote the selling of hand-crafted articles, which are produced in protected laboratories of different foundations such as Diamante, La Fonte and OTAF and which represents a main pillar of all the cofti.ch SA activities.

Thanks to the collaboration among these foundations and small privates, cofti.ch SA wants to develop a chain of farmers who will be able to guarantee the annual supply of fresh herbs ready to be dried and processed. Furthermore, the collaboration between the Cantonal Agricultural Institute of Mezzana is finalized to create a new opportunity and reality in our canton thanks to the establishment of a Centre of Expertise for Ticino’s Herbs. These precious synergies also grant a didactic-commercial component to our project. Cofti.ch SA has therefore developed the “Erbe Ticino” brand, whose goal is to identify the various active players in the cultivation and production of medicinal herbs in Ticino.

The products currently on the market are herbal teas, balsamic sweets and an infusion made of natural herbs. The new concept and attractive design will allow these products to relaunch the range of existing products.
Cofti.ch SA represents an entrepreneurial and social reality that goes one step further further in the promotion and enhancement of our territory, while maintaining a high production capacity to ensure that the value of what we are doing ids appreciated as widely as possible even outside Swiss borders.
