Foodies & Gastronomes Unite!

Foodies will adore Vorarlberg's flavoursome Bergkäse cheese, Styria's fruity Weissburgunder wines and pumpkin-seed oil, and Armschlag's poppy liqueur. Pop into Vienna's Grand Cacao for arty pralines and pistachio-filled Mozartkugeln. Warm up with hearty Austrian fare like tafelspitz (braised beef) and spicy goulash in the Alps. Tuck into Wiener Schnitzel (bread-crumbed veal escalope) with lashings of potato salad, washed down with gold-hued Stiegl beer. And don't forget to save room for fluffy apple strudel in Vienna's 1950s-style Café Prückel, or chocolatey Sachertorte at Café Sacher.

    Pelzmann Pumpkin Seed Oil

    Pumpkin seed oil is known as the black gold of Southern Styria. Pumpkins were first imported by Christoph Columbus after the discovery of America. These days a modest, family-run oil press has become the world’s biggest producer of this Austrian delicacy: Pelzmann Pumkin Seed Oil.
