Recipes for stomach bitters date back as far as the year 1050. At that time, the consumption of these bitter drinks was primarily driven by their functional benefits rather than their taste, meaning that these drinks actually had a very bitter flavour.

Gurktaler Magenbitter is produced in the idyllic Gurk Valley in Carinthia, a region renowned for its rich botanical diversity. The valley offers ideal conditions for the growth of a range of plants, some of which are rare, whose unique properties lend Gurktaler its characteristically mild and delicate flavour. This shift away from the original strong bitterness towards a gentler and more pleasant flavour profile makes Gurktaler a modern and appealing drink.

Fifty-nine different herbs, roots, seeds and fruits are carefully selected and combined to produce Gurktaler Magenbitter. This meticulous production process and the quality of the natural ingredients guarantee an exceptional taste experience and confirm the reputation of Gurktaler Magenbitter as a high-quality, traditional drink, valued both for its healing properties and its pleasant taste.
