Berchtesgadener Land Bergbauernmilch

Berchtesgadener Land is a premium German dairy brand owned by the Milchwerke Berchtesgadener Land Chiemgau eG, a cooperative founded in 1927. The brand is particularly famous for its 'Bergbauernmilch' (mountain farmer milk), which is sourced from small-scale farms in the Alpine region near the Berchtesgaden National Park.

The cooperative is uniquely structured as it is owned entirely by the farmers who supply the milk. This ensures that the production remains local to the Bavarian Alps. The brand is known for its high standards of sustainability and animal welfare, famously being the first dairy in Germany to ban the use of glyphosate among its farmers. Manufacturing and processing take place locally in Piding, Germany, maintaining a short supply chain from the mountain pastures to the bottle.
