Food and drink – from then to now

Stay true to old traditions and keep an open mind for new trends, always in line with nature. This maxim of Archduke John of Austria is still true in modern-day Styria. Whether it’s meat or ham specialities, fresh fish, juicy Styrian apples, Styria’s “green gold” – pumpkin seed oil – or sophisticated wines: Products grown in Styria delight tastebuds around the world.

Sincere and conscious enjoyment. Regional, seasonal and sustainable. Making time for good food and good conversations. Forests, summits, Alpine pastures and gardens: The green heart of Austria is sometimes rugged and rough, sometimes charming and sweet. From farming to processing and from refining to composing, the culinary manufactories and creative chefs of Styria achieve delicious feats – whether they happen at a mountain hut or at a fine-dining restaurant.

What the food manufacturers and hosts of Styria have in common, are their strong regional roots – and their passion for local food and drinks.
