You have reached the website of local Slow Food Convivium
Vorarlberg. Much to our regret we are not able to provide
all details on our association in English. Thank you for your
understanding in advance! For all international information
please contact the official homepage of Slow Food.
It is our intention to promote a philosophy of life enjoyment.
Therefore we support smaller producers of high quality products
and get more and more involved in the conservation of environment
and life quality. Our activity protests against the industrial
consolidation of gastronomic culture and stands up for the
encouragement of the regional home-style cooking and producers.
We distinguish from fanatics but want to promote a positive
attitude against fast food.
By focussing on our aim we must not forget the appetite, the
appetite on good traditional food, the appetite to discover
the new. There are many valuable old products, recipes and
food which are respectively were almost lost. Did you know
for instance that "Vorarlberger Sauerkäse"
was almost faced with ruin because there had been a lack of
producers for this wunderful cheese? Only a very small alpine
dairy managed the renaissance. We want to support such manufacturers
and owners of guesthouses who preserve these principles.
