The herb plants are cultivated in the cathedral cloister gardens and meadows in the Gurktal Valley during springtime. The first harvest occurs around mid-June. The herbs are cut by hand and packed by variety into boxes. The herbs are taken to the cathedral at the earliest opportunity. Here, they are weighed and inspected for cleanliness, variety, moisture and freshness. The herbs are then covered with alcohol for a specific number of days, in order to extract the valuable properties of the herbs. Afterwards, the herbs are separated from the extract. This extract is then stored – according to its variety or species – into stainless steel tanks. The master blending of the herbal extracts to produce Gurktaler Alpenkräuter herbal liqueur remains top secret.
