Back to the roots
You can only get to know the origins of South Tyrolean cuisine right where it is produced. To better understand what it means to cook using fresh, genuine ingredients, you simply need to try products from 'Red Rooster' farms. For example, lots of our farms have a long traditiion in
fruit juice production. You'll have the chance to try juice from the farm prepared using only natural ingredients: a treat for your tastebuds and a cure-all for body ahd soul. Don't be surprised if, after trying out fruit juice made on the farm, you won't be able to go back to industrially-produced juices.
Christmas specialities from the farm
When the meadows and fields are covered in snow in winter, peace and quiet descends on farms in South Tyrol. This is a time when farmers, their familiies and guests spend a lot of time sitting in the 'Stube' dining room, warming themselves by old wood-burning stoves and enjoying
typical Christmas treats such as
home-made 'Zelten', 'Lebkuchen' and mulled wine. Aromas such as cinnamon, clove and vanilla combine with the wood fire in the stove to form a harmonious whole and create a relaxing atmosphere.
