Casa Caria - Vienna

Why this supplier?

If you are looking for genuine Amalfi lemons in Austria, you can’t go past Casa Caria.

We know Brigitte and Domenico “Mimmo” Pugliese personally. They are absolute citrus experts, only buy directly from producers, from untreated cultivation and offer a selection that is unparalleled even in Italy.

For our lemon cream ice cream with Amalfi confit, we use Sfusato Amalfitano – the protected variety of the Amalfi Coast, which owes its unmistakable aroma to its location and the climate between the sea and the mountain.

“Our” Sfusato Amalfitano come from the Aceto family, who have been cultivating the steep terraced slopes around Amalfi for six generations since 1825. When fully ripe, the fragrant fruits arrive in Saalfelden in just a few days. We process the WHOLE lemon for our confit – the result is a very special treat, with soft pieces of fruit and intense lemon fragrance.

What connects us to the Puglieses beyond the fruit is their attitude: Mimmo specialized in citrus fruits in order to preserve rare varieties from his homeland and maintain landscapes: for example, without the hard manual work of the lemon growers on the Amalfi Coast, the terraces would fall into disrepair and the steep slopes would slide away. In addition to beautiful lemons, an entire cultural landscape would be lost.

This is exactly what is important to us – choosing good ingredients also means knowing where they come from, who grows them and what is attached to them.

Frucht Oswald - Maierhof, Eastern Styria

Frucht Oswald processes high-quality fruit in Maierhof, in the heart of Styrian fruit growing, with great care and many years of experience. The focus is on regional fruit from Styria – supplemented by selected farms in Poland, Ukraine and Romania, with which the Oswald family works personally and on a long-term basis.

What unites us is transparency along the entire value chain. Origin is traceable, quality is consistently checked, processing is carried out carefully and with respect for the raw material.

For us, this means fruit with a clear aroma, natural color and authentic taste – a reliable basis for our fruit varieties.

Brandl farmer

Why this supplier?

Martina and Christoph from Brandlbauern in Saalfelden are passionate about preserving the “Pinzgauer Strahlenziege”.
Although the robust and frugal animals have been native to Pinzgau for centuries,

they are now almost extinct and belong to the highly endangered domestic breeds.
In comparison, the milk has a very mild taste and is high in vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Martina also uses it to make goat’s cheese balls and yogurt.
We really like Martina and Christoph’s initiative and use the milk for our goat’s cheese ice cream with caramel balsamic vinegar!

Mohnhof Gressl - Waldviertel

The Gressl family has been growing high-quality poppy seeds in the Waldviertel for many years – with great care and a lot of experience. The region is considered one of the most traditional poppy-growing areas in Europe and offers ideal conditions for aromatic, finely structured poppy varieties.

At Mohnhof Gressl, the entire process remains in one hand – from cultivation to harvesting and processing. Sustainable cultivation, regional added value and precision craftsmanship are the focus here.

For us, this poppy seed is the basis for varieties with a clear, nutty depth and natural aroma. An ingredient with origin and character.

Vanilla World

Why this supplier? 

VanilleWorld stands for quality and premium vanilla from Uganda. We came across this supplier through the non-profit organization Rwenzori e.V.. The aim of Rwenzori is to implement projects to promote rural development in Uganda. The long-standing and trusting cooperation between the association and the local population has created a good basis for exporting the fairly produced premium vanilla to Europe. In close cooperation with local partners, the non-profit association has already built a secondary school, is reforesting the Rwenzori Mountains and, since 2020, the association has been supporting the construction of an agricultural school.

Further information and projects can be found at Verein Rwenzori e.V.

VanilleWorld stands for:

  • Vanilla from the Rwenzori region in Uganda / Western Uganda
  • Guaranteed from sustainable organic cultivation
  • Fair value chain without intermediaries
  • Direct sourcing from smallholder structures at fair prices
  • Premium quality (at least 16 cm pod length)

Daniel Egger from Saalfelden delivers the plump, shiny pods with their beguiling aroma to our door. He started cooperating with VanilleWorld during the Corona period and has the product sent directly to Zell am See by post. It couldn’t be fresher!

It is important to us that VanilleWorld contributes to improving the living conditions of local farmers through sustainable and fair trade practices. The focus on organic cultivation fits in perfectly with our philosophy of naturalness and social responsibility.

Noccioleria - Azienda Agricola Rapalino, Piedmont

Hazelnuts grow in Piedmont and have been the benchmark for quality for generations. The IGP-certified nuts from the Rapalino family are characterized by their intense, clear aroma and particularly low bitter content – ideal conditions for an expressive hazelnut and nougat ice cream.

The Azienda Agricola Rapalino cultivates around 30 hectares under its own management. Since 2011, in addition to cultivation, further processing has also been carried out directly on the farm – from drying and precise roasting to the gentle production of hazelnut pulp. This means that the entire process remains under family responsibility.

We share a commitment to origin, craftsmanship and care. Quality is not created industrially here, but in a clear line from the tree to the finished product.

Hartlieb family - Heimschuh, Southern Styria

The Hartlieb family has been producing high-quality, cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil in Heimschuh in southern Styria for three generations. The pumpkins grow around their own factory and are carefully processed – from the seeds to the finished oil.

What unites us is the demand for origin and care. The raw materials come from the region and the processing is carried out with precision craftsmanship and a great deal of experience. The result is a deeply aromatic pumpkin seed oil with a clear structure and a characteristic, nutty note.

For us, Hartlieb is a partner that does not claim regionality, but lives it – and does not leave quality to chance.

Chocolate from Zotter - Riegersburg, Styria

Cocoa is an ethically sensitive raw material. Transparency and responsibility are not just marketing terms here, they are crucial.

Zotter processes its cocoa beans using its own bean-to-bar process and knows the supply chains right back to the source. Direct relationships with producers and clearly traceable origins are key criteria for us. In this area, we trust in the personal integrity of the entrepreneur.

The taste of the chocolate also impressed us. In our tests with different varieties, it showed a remarkable depth, clear aroma and a stable, intense color. For us, it’s not the name that counts – it’s quality that we can taste and take responsibility for.

Benvenuto

For over 40 years and now in its third generation, the Benvenuto family has been producing and processing nuts and fruit, especially hazelnuts from Piedmont. They are known among gourmets all over the world and are considered to be the best and tastiest of all. The queen of hazelnuts is the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety.

Stefan Nothdurfter

Stefan Nothdurfter’s juicy, sweet Stanzer Zwetschken plums grow on a sunny plateau in Tyrol, 1000 meters above sea level. This very special variety loves the dry alpine climate. The south-facing slopes of the orchards, countless hours of sunshine, the large differences in temperature between day and night, high mineral content, as well as the hair dryer, characterize the particularly intense aroma of the Stanzer Zwetschke.
We are not only in love with the special taste, but above all with the color it gives our ice cream.

This plateau is the highest fruit-growing region in Europe and has even been awarded the title “Genuss Region Stanzer Zwetschke” by the Austrian Ministry of Life.

biohof Häusl

Bernadette and Martin Lohninger from the Häusl organic farm in the neighborhood supply us with yoghurt and buttermilk, which are delivered fresh to the manufactory every day. The open barn offers the cows outdoor exercise all year round, antibiotics are only used in emergencies and transportation routes are kept as short as possible.
A large photovoltaic system ensures the sustainable operation of the farm, with which they would soon like to be self-sufficient in terms of energy.

We appreciate the loving and organic husbandry of the cows, the short distance of the dairy products from the farm to us, as well as the Lohninger family themselves :)

Biohof Häusl is a member of BIO AUSTRIA.

Organic farm Lugmayr

Together with his wife Anna, Johann Lugmayr grows the best organic rhubarb on around 15 hectares. Although the intensely reddish vegetable is a grateful plant for organic cultivation, it is not easy to cultivate. Rhubarb is only harvested up to a fixed date, June 24, so that the canes can recover well after the harvest. The soil is also very stressed and therefore needs a new crop after a few years. Carrots, spinach, peas and runner beans thus grow on Johann Lugmayr’s fields in an organic circular economy.

The rhubarb stalks are harvested by hand from April to June. Rhubarb is at its tastiest when the year brings a cold winter and a warm spring.

Kittseer apricot

Connoisseurs also call it Austria’s “best apricot”.

Around 35,000 trees of the ”Hungarian Beast” thrive on around 110 hectares in the wonderful Pannonian climate between the Danube and Lake Neusiedl. Unmistakably juicy fruits that can be recognized from afar by their size and bright color alone.

The harvest usually lasts from early to mid-July. At this time of year, the 2,000-strong community of Kittsee near the Slovakian capital Bratislava is buzzing with activity. Not only because of the harvest, but also because the apricots are sold on two stalls in the middle of the village.

The ”Kittseer Marille” brand has been protected since 2004 to prevent apricots that do not originate from the Genussregion from being sold under the name ”Kittseer Marille”.

biohof gruberbauer

For us, the Gruberbauer organic farm is much more than just a supplier – it is both a source and a benchmark. Karin and Ernst Mosshammer have been running their farm organically for decades, with a consistent focus on animal welfare and biodiversity.

Their cows are A2A2, keep their horns, have year-round access and are fed exclusively on green fodder, hay and alfalfa from their own meadows, without concentrates or silage.

What makes this farm special is the combination of agriculture and nature: land is cultivated in such a way that animals and plants find their habitat, rare butterfly species are reintroduced and even amphibians benefit. This depth of biodiversity is exceptional and was recognized with an award as the “best organic farm in Pinzgau”.

This form of farming requires time, knowledge and perseverance. But it is worth it – the herd is robust, the use of medication is minimal and the meadows are rich in species.

And for us, this means an exceptionally clear, aromatic milk quality – the best basis for our high-quality product.

A form of agriculture that has become rare – and which we support out of conviction.
