What grows here
Valle Aurina/Ahrntal
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Valle Aurina/Ahrntal, nestled high in the Puster Valley's northern reaches, is a crucible of distinctive Alpine flavors. Here, the crisp mountain air and fertile valley soils, fed by numerous glacial streams, provide the ideal conditions for a diverse array of protected denominations. Among the 15 distinct products born in this specific territory are the robust fruit brandy Südtiroler Zwetschgeler IG, crafted from plums, and the crunchy, flat rye bread Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP, shaped by centuries of local baking tradition. These products exemplify a culinary identity forged by elevation and a deep connection to the specific agricultural rhythms of this South Tyrolean valley. Each reflects the unique interplay of climate and cultivation found exclusively here.
