Soglio Produkte- store and production

In 1979, Walter Hunkeler  set up a laboratory in his residential house in Soglio. There he experimented with goat butter, which he and his wife processed to a rheumatic ointment and a massage balm. While the first dispatches were run through acquaintances and valley visitors, their products were soon introduced into the first shops. During this time, Hunkeler met Martin Ermatinger, who was interested in questions of economic development of the Alpine area, and who dreamt of setting up something of his own in the Alpine region.

In 1986 the business moved to a larger building in Castasegna. The goat butter was joined by herbs and sheep's whey, flowers, essential oils, all from local producers or purchased from organic farmers in Graubünden, as well as other suitable raw materials tailored to the recipes. Meanwhile – after 40 years of production and experience – they count over 50 products in their  range. The STONE perfumes, the prominent stone bottles for perfumes and eau de cologne that are manufactured by a stonecutter from Castasegna, are an additional specialty of the enterprise.
