Regional food culture speciality

Stubai Kiachl

Stubaier Kiachl were traditionally served by farmers' wives on festive days like harvest celebrations or church anniversaries. This classic yeast pastry, trendy in winter and on special occasions, has been enjoyed for generations. Passed down through the years, the recipe has become a symbol of regional food culture. Originally, Kiachl were a rarity, as frying in hot fat was once seldom possible.

Today, Kiachl are freshly prepared at markets and festivals, offered sweet with icing sugar and lingonberries or savoury with game ragout and red cabbage, keeping the taste and tradition of Tirolean cuisine alive.
