Welcome to Seegut Eisl, located at Lake Wolfgang

ORGANIC SHEEP´ S MILK SPECIALTIES FROM THE FARM SEEGUT EISL

The Seegut Eisl is an organically certified farm, located at Lake Wolfgang in Austria. For more than 30 years, we – Sepp and Christine Eisl – have been successfully raising sheep and producing organic sheep’s milk specialties in our own cheese dairy. We run our farm with a lot of heart and soul. For us, sustainable management and the quality of our products is of the utmost importance.

TRADITIONAL FARM WITH HISTORY

Around 130 sheep graze at our Seegut Eisl organic farm, which is located at Lake Wolfgang in Austria. The farm has been run by the Eisl family for 500 years.

In 1982, we bought our first two sheep and since there was no dairy to take the sheep’s milk, we decided to build our own cheese dairy, which was integrated into the farmhouse in 1992. Our farm is officially certified as organic.

WE ACT IN A SUSTAINABLE AND TOUGHTFUL WAY

For us, the top priority is to farm sustainably and organically for future generations. Environmental protection, sustainability and the responsible use of resources are therefore a must for us.

We only use renewable energy for the production of our specialties, and we operate our own biomass heating plant. This is operated with our own wood chips and a thermal solar system. In addition, only green electricity is used throughout the company. In 2022, a 1,000m² photovoltaic system was installed on the rooves, which covers the electricity requirements for the entire company. In our cheese dairy, we have Austria’s first ice cream pasteurizer that can be operated with solar heat.

SHEEP´ S MILK PRODUCTS

For over 30 years, we have been producing high-quality sheep´ s milk products using artisan methods in our own cheese dairy. All EISL products like cream cheese, yoghurt, fruit whey and ice cream are made from 100% organic and high quality sourced ingredients. We use no premixes, artificial flavors, or additives.

EXTRA CREAMY

Sheep’s milk is different! In contrast to products made from cow’s milk, sheep’s milk products have a particularly creamy consistency. Above all, sheep´ s milk has a full-bodied, mild, fine taste, as well as a slight almond flavour.

BENEFICIAL TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

The sheep´ s milk is considered to be extremely good for protecting and building the immune system. This benefit can be explained biologically: the digestive cycle of a sheep is longer than that of other animals, so they can absorb many more trace elements, vitamins and enzymes and pass them through their milk to us humans. Sheep‘ s milk is richer in vitamins than cow´ s or goat´ s milk and contains many omega-3 fatty acids that are of great value to humans. Moreover, the fat molecules have a smaller structure, which increases their digestibility.
