Lemon, Thyme, Ricotta and Semolina Cake

The ‘Original Ricola Herb Candy’ was invented in 1940 and has remained unchanged in 75 years. The 13 herbs that make up the original recipe (and also form the basis of all other Ricola products) are cultivated in the Swiss mountains without the use of pesticides and away from pollutants that might affect their quality, purity and taste. This family run company is not only careful to treat their farming partners fairly, they also promote biodiversity and respect the environment. They have set up the Ricola Foundation whose main activity is to support COLOSS, a network which coordinates research into understanding honeybee colony losses.
