Leitner Alpine Dairy

Where the finest cheese is made from Almenland best Almenland: At the Leitner Alpine Dairy in Tulwitz, milk has been processed right on the farm for three generations. On a guided tour, visitors can follow the journey from fresh hay milk to finished cheese— including a tasting, of course .

Since 2009, Christoph and Jasmin Leitner have been processing milk from their own cows in their modern on-farm dairy. This high-quality hay milk is used to produce numerous specialties—including the popular Teichalmer, various fresh cheeses, and a large portion of the well-known Almenland , which then develops its distinctive flavor in the Arzberg aging cave.

The cows are fed exclusively on grass and hay. In the summer, some of the cows spend the warm season on the Teichalm, where some of the milk is processed directly at the Harrerhütte.

Here's what visitors can expect:

• Interactive tour from hay to the barn to cheese; duration: about 1.5 hours.
• Glass-walled showroom with a tasting room for 55 people (seating available).
• Video Presentation: “The Makers of Stollen Cheese”
• Tasting of award-winning cheeses, plus a beverage
• Groups of 10 or more, by advance reservation
• Bus parking available
• Tours of the cattle barn are available upon request.
