Sweet mountain delights – Martell strawberries

High up between 900 and 1,800 metres, they ripen slowly under warm days and cool nights – the secret to their incomparable aroma. This gives Martell strawberries a full flavour that you can taste immediately. Freshly harvested, they go straight to the MEG cooperative or to the ‘Erdbeerwelt Trattla’ strawberry world from June to September – a treat not to be missed!
