Christiane’s
Naturkraft

Stephan’s rediscovery of elderberry felt almost like fate. Reading the scientific literature on natural remedies, he came across dozens of studies on a plant called “elderberry” whose findings caught his attention. He had to look up its German name himself. The answer was Holunder. Then he remembered how often his mother Christiane had spoken to him about elderberry and her recipes. That was where our first collection began.

In Austria, a Wunderwuzi is a remarkably versatile character. Elderberry earns the nickname with its deep colour, tart fruit flavour, and possibilities ranging from pure juice to spiced sirup. It connects Austrian kitchen traditions with intriguing questions for modern research. For us, it is the beginning of a wider exploration of plants.

We add vitamin C and zinc to our elderberry sirups and essences. Both contribute to normal immune function and help protect cells from oxidative stress.
