Our story

Our story

My husband Hans Jörg and I were not always granola producers. Before we turned to this new passion, we were both rooted in the restaurant industry for many, many years. Our journey literally began “from the bottom up”, and over the years we were able to gain valuable experience while running and shaping several internationally well-known companies.

Gastronomy has taught us a lot: dedication, creativity and, above all, the art of creating and sharing enjoyment. In 2021 we felt it was time to try something new, take on a new challenge and direct our passion in a different direction.

Our granola journey was an adventure characterized by curiosity and the desire to express our creativity in new ways. From my perspective, the move meant more than just a career change: it gave me the opportunity to share our long-standing love of good food and sustainable nutrition in a fresh way by producing each batch myself with care and dedication.

1987

As the daughter of a gastronomy family that is the fourth generation to run a country inn in Germany, I was practically born with the host gene. Nevertheless, at the age of 16, I decided to get to the bottom of the matter and learn from the ground up what it takes to be able to pamper guests in the very best hotels.

1992

Hans Jörg, my still unknown future husband, has an awakening experience in Miami Beach. He discovered it for the first time in the “News Cafe” restaurant Granola. A culinary love at first sight and enthusiasm for a product that never existed in Switzerland, even if Dr. Bircher had already done pioneering work with his muesli in Zurich around 1900. 

1993 - 1999

Always up your nose. From an early age I was able to put my sensory skills to the test in excellent restaurants and reach for the stars. Whether as a sommelier in the Schwarzwaldstube of the “Traube Tonbach” in Baiersbronn, as a chef-de-service at Jöhris in the “Talvo” in Champfèr or as a chef-de-bar on Cocoa Island, when the Maldives were still almost untouched. 

1998

Hans Jörg acquires the mountain restaurant “paradiso” high above St. Moritz. The view over the lake landscape of the Upper Engadine and its mountains is simply breathtaking.

1999

It's time for me to meet my husband! And voilà: Hans Jörg and I meet and make the little stars in our eyes sparkle. And because it's so beautiful and we can do it well together, we put our love and passion into developing the brand together “el paradise”, with which we have made the mountain restaurant renowned and award-winning el paradiso Mountain Club build.

2009

This year we were particularly interested in... "MASTER", the highest award, at the “Best of Swiss Gastro Award”.

2015

With the beautiful restaurant “Lej da Staz” we are expanding our enjoyment of gastronomy and - in addition to my passion as a hut owner on "el paradiso" - I will be managing director of this magical place.

2018

As part of a cooperation with the “Eleven Madison Park” In New York, which has just been named the world's best restaurant, we visited the owner for a photo shoot Daniel Humm as a guest. After the excellent dinner we were presented with a glass Granola. The goodness of pleasure overwhelmed us and planted a seed within us. As soon as I returned from the USA, I started tinkering at home and was filled with the desire to create a granola that would delight us in the same way.

2021

After 23 fulfilling and unforgettable years, we say goodbye to “el paradiso” and also to “Lej da Staz”.

2022

We treat ourselves to a break and go traveling. For us as a family, it is an opportunity to look forward and find new perspectives and ideas. When we were invited as guests at friends' houses, I would each have a glass of the homemade one Granola to bring with you. They were so enthusiastic about it that it didn't take long before we were asked if they could buy it too. Bang! The business idea was born. And Hans Jörg and I had a new goal in mind.

2023

Over the past 14 months, Hans Jörg and I have put our strength, our knowledge and our passion into the vision, a unique one Gourmet granola to create. With intensive research, constant trial and error and repeated testing. Today we can offer five delicious granolas that fill us all with joy and a little bit of pride.
