The art of celebrating

I am Marlene® – daughter of the Alps.

My story began 25 years ago in my homeland - South Tyrol. Here, I learned the art of ripening from apple growers, pampered by over 300 days of sunshine a year. My travels in various countries have led me to meet fantastic people. So, for my anniversary, I would like us to all contribute to writing a new chapter in my story.
