Südburgenländische Kräuter
(South Burgenland Herbs)
Südburgenländische kräuter or South Burgenland herbs refers to a variety of herbs and flowers that grow throughout southern Burgenland in eastern Austria. Thanks to its mild, warm, and dry climate and the quality of the soil, the territory of this region provides the ideal conditions for the growth of a vast selection of spice herbs, tea herbs, and flowers used for culinary purposes.
Once collected, the herbs and flowers are dried before they are used for making a wide range of spices, herbal blends, teas, herbal salts, syrups, and other products.
The whole process is manual and chemical-free, and it is carried out with the utmost care.
Local women involved in the herb-growing business took advantage of nature’s gift and founded the Bauerngarten - Südburgenländische Kräuter cooperative back in 1999.
The purpose of this cooperative has been to promote the aromatic herbs and their by-products under a common brand and to aid the products’ sale.
Südburgenländische kräuter is considered to be one of Burgenland’s regional specialties, and as such, it has been protected by the Genuss Region Österreich (GRÖ) registered trademark.
