Obsthof Retter

Obsthof Retter positions its products as artisan goods produced in its own manufactory (Manufaktur). The producer publishes specialist books on its key ingredients, including 'Superfruit Granatapfel' and 'Die Heilkraft der Wurzeln' (The Healing Power of Roots), the latter sold as part of its root elixir product range.^[1],[2]

Obsthof Retter organizes its lineup into distinct product lines named WILD, WELL, FLY, and BIO, each representing a different category of fruit essences and juices. A line of fruit essences called 'Wildfrucht Essenzen' is issued under the Edition Sommelier label, which includes the WILD, WELL, and FLY sub-ranges.^[1],[3]
