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.

CRYSTAL CLEAR LIFE ESSENCE

Alpbachtaler mineral water

Mineral water is a one hundred percent natural product. These family-run businesses in the Alpbachtal produce excellent mineral water that has its origins in the Tyrolean mountains.

In Alpbachtal, mountains, lakes, cultural sights and authentic offers are all packed into a very small space. As rich as the offer is, as diverse is the element of water here.

Gurgling springs, crystal-clear mountain streams, roaring floods in the gorges and the warmest bathing lakes in Tyrol invite you to explore. The purest form of water, however, is that which is obtained directly from the natural spring. In the Alpbachtal there are two family-run businesses that use the purest, natural mineral water.

On its way from the first drop of rain to the spring, the water is purified and enriched with minerals from the surrounding rock. The Gruber private spring, located in Brixlegg, offers the "finest of water". Here, SilberQuelle products are made with natural mineral water. In Münster, the family-owned company Alpquell stands for the best quality and "the most natural Alpine mineral water". The natural Alpquell Alpine mineral water springs from the highest peak in the Zillertal Alps. 

Nothing may be added to the mineral water except carbonic acid. Its minerals come from nature. Both the SilberQuelle mineral water and the Alpquell mineral water each come from a different area of influence. Thus, the qualities and contents of each mineral water are different. The minerals contained must be declared on the label and are subject to strict legal regulations. This guarantees the high quality of Alpbachtaler mineral water, which is good for body, mind and soul.
