Almdudler Herb Soda

Almdudler is a traditional Austrian herbal soft drink that has become a symbol of Alpine culture. It was first created in 1957 by Erwin Klein, who developed the recipe using 32 different Alpine herbs, including lemon balm, sage, gentian, and elderflower. The name 'Almdudler' is derived from the phrase 'auf der Alm dudeln,' which refers to singing or yodeling in the Alpine pastures.

The brand has remained a family-owned enterprise throughout its history, maintaining a strong commitment to its Austrian roots. While it is primarily manufactured and bottled in Austria, Almdudler is exported globally and has local bottling partnerships in some countries to ensure freshness and reach. The ultimate ownership remains with the Klein family, who have successfully positioned the drink as the national beverage of Austria, second only to mineral water in popularity.
