Recipes for bitters go way back to the year 1050, when bitter drinks were primarily consumed for their functional benefits rather than their flavour, so these drinks actually had a strong bitter taste.

The production of Gurktaler bitters takes place in the idyllic Gurktaler Valley in Carinthia, a place known for its rich botanical diversity. The valley offers optimal conditions for the growth of a number of plants, some of which are rare, whose unique properties give Gurktaler its characteristically mild and delicate flavour. This deviation from the original strong bitterness to a gentler and more pleasant flavour profile makes Gurktaler a modern and appealing drink.

59 different herbs, roots, seeds and fruits are carefully selected and combined to produce Gurktaler bitters. This careful production process and the quality of the natural ingredients guarantee an exceptional flavour experience and confirm the reputation of Gurktaler bitters as a high-quality, traditional drink that is appreciated for its healing properties as well as its pleasant taste.
