Local products

Privileged by their geographical location and temperate climate, the many fruit orchards of Merano and its environs produce excellent vegetables and superb fruit of all kinds, while the high and steep mountainsides offer perfect terrain for the cultivation of outstanding herbs and spices.

Most of the local produce can be found in grocery stores or directly at the farms themselves. Those who enjoy the pleasure of new tastes will particularly like the crisp ambrosial apples from the Venosta Valley, the excellent asparagus from Castelbello and the flavoursome bread types which are ideal as a companion for the aromatic smoked bacon, not to mention high altitude alpine herbs of unmatched quality and the full range of local dairy products.

Make sure that the seal “Qualität aus Südtirol” and the “Red Rooster“ label are present to guarantee the highest quality level of groceries. But in the first place, you will simply taste the difference...
