The Schalk Mühle is a proud family business, run in the 6th generation by Franz & Rainer. CO2-neutral, organic foods from the region.
The History & Idea
The answers to tomorrow’s challenges lie in reducing greenhouse gases like CO2. The cultivation and growth of nuts, seeds, and kernels naturally result in a very low CO2 footprint.
At Schalk Mühle, we leverage environmentally friendly hydropower to produce a wide range of organic foods from these staples in a CO2-neutral manner.
Join us in our commitment to sustainability and enjoy delicious products that support a healthier planet!
Tradition & Nature
Since 1859, we have committed ourselves to traditional production methods, and we still partially operate machines that are over 100 years old. We craft a wide range of products—including culinary oils, pestos, spreads, creams, powders, and bars—ensuring the highest organic quality without depleting the soil or using harmful substances common in conventional agriculture.
Experience the difference of time-honored craftsmanship and sustainable practices at Schalk Mühle!
Did You Know?
With nuts, seeds, and kernels, along with fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, a person can maintain a balanced, entirely plant-based diet from early childhood onward. Studies show that it is possible to remain fit and healthy well into old age while choosing the most environmentally friendly diet.
Fair Farming
Understanding the challenges of organic farming, we actively support our organic farmers from across Austria by offering fair prices for their valuable work and contributions to a healthy environment. Moreover, by utilizing local raw materials, we ensure minimal transportation distances, further promoting sustainability.
CO2-neutral
Our hydropower plant enables us to generate all the electricity we need entirely on our own! In addition to hydropower, we also harness the strength of the forest. Our own forest provides sufficient wood through its natural growth to heat our roasting pans for Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI throughout the year. With years of experience, we prioritize sustainable forest management practices, ensuring gentle treatment of our woodlands.
