Austria's best eggnog comes from Bad Ischl
The gourmet magazine Falstaff names the egg liqueur from Zauner as the best in Austria.
BAD ISCHL – Great joy at Zauner: The traditional Zauner egg liqueur has been awarded the title of best egg liqueur in the country at the prestigious Falstaff Egg Liqueur Trophy. This victory sees the product prevail against numerous high-quality entries from across Austria, confirming the outstanding quality of the company. At the top of the egg liqueur rankings is a trio: Two German manufacturers and the egg liqueur from the Zauner confectionery share first place with 96 points. The Falstaff jury, comprised of experienced experts, evaluated the following criteria: taste, consistency, aroma, and overall impression. Zauner egg liqueur impressed with its subtle scent reminiscent of fresh sponge cake. Not too thick, yet surprisingly robust, with a lovely hint of vanilla. Falstaff described its rich yellow appearance, with visible pieces of vanilla bean, as "a perfect example, albeit with a punch.". „This award is a great honor for us and at the same time a confirmation of our daily work,“ says Philipp Zauner, Managing Director of Konditorei Zauner. „We place the utmost importance on high-quality ingredients, traditional recipes and careful production – the fact that this has now also been recognized by Falstaff as the best egg liqueur in the country makes us very proud.“ The award underscores the importance of regional products and production. The eggs are sourced from the Reither organic farm in Regau. Zauner's confectionery requires approximately 400,000 eggs annually. The dairy products come from the regional Gmundner Milch dairy. The results were published in Falstaff Recipes magazine just in time for Easter. However, there's no reason not to enjoy this creamy drink year-round. The eggnog is available all year in the shop on Pfarrgasse in Bad Ischl and online at www.zauner.at.
