Tanya Giovanoli’s magic. Sometimes, our technologically accelerated world seems to miss something – a sparkle of magic. Who hasn’t dreamt, as a child or today, of finding a special old book of spells?

The good news is that these rare spell books still exist. Tanya Giovanoli is the owner of one of them. Her unique copy is worn out, bound in a faded grey-blue paper. It has found its way down from the untamed heights of Maloja to the Reichenau Castle. It guards the secret recipes of her ancestors, which for generations have only been handed down to the next direct successor. It looks straightforward when Tanya Giovanoli combines its magic with the traditional artisanry that she learnt from an early age, but in fact it’s highly complex.

Aside from her special recipe book, Tanya uses the highest quality, purely natural raw products, such as the very best meat, salt, natural sausage casing and spices and herbs, having grown most of the latter in her own organic garden. Then she adds a little of her own magic! Her exceptionally sharp sense of smell and taste enable her to take one sniff of an old cellar to know which mycelium lives on the bricks and for which maturing process it can be used. She also demonstrates a good measure of courage and innovative attitude towards her art, thereby adding a few pages to this traditional family record. Alongside carefully matured dried meat delicacies and almost forgotten regional products such as Chur Beinwurst sausage or dried blood sausage, she crafts completely new products. Her Cream Bratwurst, for example, will make your mouth water. Her slow cooked products, such as rillettes (a dream spread that has been melted on low heat for days) are in line with the integral nose to tail use, letting nothing go to waste. And as Tanya Giovanoli gets restless sitting around doing nothing, she has extended her range of preserves and fermented products, all made from home-grown vegetables and fruits. 

But Tanya Giovanoli’s magic does not just reveal itself in meat products, sausages, and fermented specialities coveted by the high-end gastronomy, but evokes strong positive emotions. If you have one of Tanya’s sausages on your plate, nothing can spoil your day. Devouring them will make your mood skyrocket. Tanya Giovanoli’s magic touches our senses, our mind and our joie de vivre. Her products will bring joy to your life.
