The 2022 harvest forecast for mushrooms
The 2022 harvest forecast for mushrooms
Market stocks of porcini mushrooms from last year’s harvest are very low. However, we have sufficient quantities to last us until the new harvest arrives, and are thus able to meet our contractual obligations. We hope the 2022 harvest will be good enough to secure sufficient stock for the coming year, because even our suppliers’ warehouses are emptier than usual.
The situation is equally challenging when it comes to other wild mushroom varieties such as chanterelles, horns of plenty and black morels, because stores are empty and supplier countries are offering virtually no new supplies.

Traditional Styrian
stamp press process
While modernity has brought progress in many areas, the traditional Styrian stamp press process is still the best way of making pumpkin seed oil. The main difference between this and other pressing methods is that we work with open roasting pans. At our plant, people check when the pumpkin seeds are perfectly roasted and so will yield the very best oil. This enables our experienced oil millers to produce the pumpkin seed oil that has won more prizes than any other – and which as a result of this type of pressing retains all the natural constituents. The untreated oil is not filtered; the particles that make it cloudy settle naturally when the oil is left to rest.
