We care about our suppliers #7

What would Austria be without its pastries and cakes? Well – at least only half as delicious. Our sustainably produced organic cereal products come from the corn mill

Schälmühle Nestelberger, Perg, OÖ

The Nestelberger mill processes and distributes products from organic farmers in Austria. Nestelberger’s history already starts in 1931. Since that time the famous flour mill with adjacent flour shop are a family business. After a fire in 1980 the mill was rebuilt and restructured. Nowadays, the mill processes all kinds of grain types. The majority comes from 150 Austrian farmers, as sustainability is the company’s main issue.

In the adjacent shop, you can choose between 4000 different organic products from all over the world. The product range is continuously adjusted and expanded according to customer requests. The quality maintains consistent as only certified products are sold in the shop. The products have been a great success in the past which is why Nestelberger now has 38 employees and supplies shops in Austria and Europe – and us, of course.

Finally, one last point: the Nestelbergers, more precisely Stefan sen., is the inventor of the nowadays famous “European Rice”, the spelt rice. Stefan sen. had the genious idea to use spelt as rice in 1985. To fasten the cooking process, the rice is being washed, hulled, sanded and polished in the mill. The rice enjoys popularity for over 20 years and is even copied by other suppliers. Really smart those Nestelbergers!

We are very happy to have the Schälmühle Nestelberger as our partner and proud to be ablbe to offer their great products to our guests!
