Berchtesgadener Land Frische Bergbauern Milch fettarm

Berchtesgadener Land milk is a premium dairy product originating from the Bavarian Alps in Germany. This specific product is a fresh mountain farm milk with a low fat content (1.5%), packaged in a sustainable, reusable glass bottle that is characteristic of the brand's commitment to environmental preservation.

The milk is sourced exclusively from approximately 1,600 small-scale, family-run mountain farms located in the Alpine region between the Watzmann and Zugspitze mountains. These farmers are members of a cooperative, ensuring that the production remains local and supports the traditional agricultural landscape of the region. The brand is well-known for paying one of the highest milk prices to its farmers, reflecting a fair-trade philosophy within the domestic German market.

Owned by the farmers themselves through a cooperative structure, the brand has remained independent since its founding in 1927. It is recognized for its high quality standards, including being the first dairy in Germany to receive Naturland Fair certification, and it continues to operate from its sole production site in Piding, Bavaria.
