Who is behind Pittola?
“Passion for farming? It’s in my blood! I grew up on my parents’ farm, and a few years ago, I decided to focus on pig farming. Switching to organic farming and building our new farmstead allowed my wife and me to turn our long-term plans into reality. Today, we’re living our dream: ethical animal husbandry, sustainable farming, and a farm shop that reflects our passion.
Our pigs enjoy more space than required by organic standards and can freely move between indoor and outdoor areas. An advanced ventilation system ensures fresh air, and various activities – did you know pigs love playing nose-ball? – keep our animals happy and entertained. Daily contact with our animals builds trust and contributes to their well-being. Additionally, we prepare our products by hand in our on-site processing room – for authentic flavours straight from the farm.”
For us, authenticity is key – in every sense. What you see on our products is exactly what’s inside: organic, South Tyrolean, and above all, 100% happy animals. Transparency is one of our core values. Almost all of our pigs are born here on the farm and live carefree lives. We source our cows and calves from organic farmers in Olang, and they spend the entire summer grazing on lush Alpine meadows under our care. Sustainability and respect for our animals, for the resources available to us, and for the environment are our top priorities. Our goal? To promote conscious consumption – with enjoyment and peace of mind.
From the beginning of 2025 onwards, you can buy our products directly from the farm – with flexible self-service. For those who prefer to pay in cash, receive personal advice, or simply enjoy a friendly chat: we’re here every Friday from 3 to 5 pm! And if you’d like a tour of the farm, we’re happy to show you where our animals live.
