Cheese & dairy products

Creamy and delicate, it melts on the tongue. It has a spicy taste. And when you taste it on an alpine pasture, the pleasure is perfect. Alpbachtaler cheese is unique. The basis for this is created by the many farmers in the region with their natural product - the finest raw milk.

I want cheese!

You don't have to climb mountains for a long time to get the best dairy products from the region. Whether butter, yoghurt, cheese, whey or milk: We in the Apbachtal have countless "Ab Hof Produzenten" (local farmers who produce their own products and sell them directly) and farm shops that sell the best from the finest alpine milk.

Our tip: Try it for yourself and let yourself be convinced by what is on offer on site. Our experts at the counters, alpine pastures, farms or in the shops will be happy to tell you which speciality of the house will melt in your mouth.

Sausage & bacon

Experience, conscientious processing, species-appropriate animal husbandry and sufficient time make the Alpbachtal sausage and bacon specialities a true pleasure.

If you want to try really good bacon, then Alpbachtal is the place to be. Here, bacon is prepared according to an old family recipe and smoked in the centuries-old Speckselche. You can see this for yourself when you visit the Hechahof bacon farmers. 

You will also be warmly welcomed by bacon farmer Peter Moser and his wife Annemarie and experience what species-appropriate animal husbandry looks like. The Moser family lives idyllically on the mountain with 90 pigs and 100 sheep, and you will get an idea of how much work and heart and soul goes into the production of their farm products. 

And not to forget our numerous butcher's shops and farm shops in the Alpbachtal. Some of them still remind us of childhood days when there was no question of mass-produced goods and the personality at the counter had expert knowledge of the finest pieces.
