Red Rooster: South Tyrolean dishes with tradition

South Tyrolean cuisine combines Alpine down-to-earthness with Mediterranean sophistication – and it is precisely this culinary heritage that is cultivated with love on the Red Rooster farms (German: Roter Hahn). Here, traditional dishes are created from fresh, farm-grown ingredients: from savoury dumplings and homemade pasta to sweet delicacies such as apple strudel or grapes.

Many of these recipes have been passed down for generations and reflect the diversity of South Tyrolean culinary culture. Anyone who wants to try authentic South Tyrolean dishes or cook them themselves will find original recipe ideas and genuine flavour experiences at Red Rooster – true to the motto: regional, natural, unadulterated.
