Tyrolean hotels focus on local products

The perfect blend of region and tradition makes Tyrolean cuisine an exceptional treat for young and old. The choice is vast, ranging from organic breakfast buffets to afternoon snacks or a 5-course menu in the evening. What guests appreciate is knowing where the products come from and what is used in the kitchen.

For example, hotels in Tyrol source turkey or chicken meat from selected poultry farms, and organic eggs of grade I are exclusively purchased from special suppliers. Honey is also a product that many hotels buy regionally. The choices include dandelion honey, comb honey, or mountain honey, which are cold-spun and natural. For production, the bees are brought to selected regions where they can produce wonderful honey.

Another specialty is mountain cheese, which is made from organic raw milk. The utmost goal is to protect nature and the environment and to produce the milk in a completely natural way and to process it in a value-preserving manner. Organic homemade jam is also very popularly offered by Tyrolean hotels, as well as yogurt, quark, or butter from local farms. Sausages, meat, or salami are also produced without genetic engineering or glutamate, thus guaranteeing the highest organic standard. Unusual bread specialties such as whole grain or spelt bread come from selected whole food bakeries, fresh vegetables are also sourced from local farmers.

An extremely special delicacy is the East Tyrolean mountain lamb, whose quality is distinguished by a cross of the "Tyrolean mountain sheep" and the "Tyrolean stone sheep" with meat-focused sheep breeds. The lamb has a particularly low fat content and is therefore a very special feast for health-conscious connoisseurs.
