Dried fruit of the Pielachtal

Healthy snacks.

Drying is one of the oldest procedures to preserve fruit. A large part of the vitamines is therefore kept. The apples, pears and plums used come from organic farms. Dried fruit of the locals is thus a healthy complementary to our nutrition.

Noble spirits from the Pielachtal

Noble brandies and spirits from local fruit and berry orchards.

Modern distillery takes place in a way to preserve all the precious raw ingredients. Professional tastings keep up the high quality of the products.

Please look up offers and prices at the homepage of the noble spirit association.

Various local honey products are offered, too. Ask family Fuxsteiner! Tel. + 43 / 2722 / 7408
