Almdudler herbal lemonade

Almdudler is a quintessential Austrian herbal lemonade, often referred to as the 'national drink of Austria'. Created in 1957 by Erwin Klein, the drink was originally formulated as a wedding gift for his wife, Ingrid. Its unique flavor profile is derived from a blend of natural Alpine herbs including lemon balm, sage, gentian, elderflower, and coneflower. The brand is instantly recognizable by its iconic logo featuring a couple in traditional Austrian costume, Marianne and Jakob.

While the brand has gained significant international distribution, particularly in neighboring Germany and other parts of Europe, it remains deeply rooted in its Austrian heritage. The production process adheres to high standards, utilizing natural herbal extracts without artificial preservatives. Ownership has remained within the founding family for decades, ensuring that the brand maintains its traditional values while evolving for modern consumers with sugar-free and flavored variations.

Today, Almdudler is the largest private soda company in Austria. It continues to operate as an independent, family-owned enterprise, with the third generation of the Klein family actively involved in its management. This independence allows the brand to focus on its Austrian identity and sustainable production practices, such as the use of returnable glass bottles.
