Almenland - Stollen cheese
World champion cheese
It is thanks to the enthusiastic cheese lover Franz Möstl that cheese is now ripened into a delicacy in the tunnels of the former silver mine. He turned his passion into a profession, bought the "Grubenhaus" in 2009, had a 270 m tunnel built into the mountain and converted the "Grubenhaus" into a "cheese workshop".
Numerous cow, sheep and goat cheeses are now matured here. The cheeses are produced in the Leitner dairy and are made exclusively with milk from Almenland . Year after year, the dairy achieves top positions in international cheese awards. In March 2018, the "Arzberger Ursteirer" was even named runner-up in the USA and the "Caprissimum" won the title of "Best Cheese in Austria" in Norway in November 2018.
The Almenland Genussladen in the Grubenhaus is open from Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm.
