It belongs to St. Gallen like the monastery and Lake Constance. Our St.Gallen bratwurst still tastes the same today as it always did. Selected ingredients, finely balanced, with a touch of tradition and a hint of spice that only the initiated really know. It was always like that. That's how it stays.

Ask anyone from St. Gallen what makes their city special. He will talk about the monastery, perhaps about Lake Constance. And then, with a smile, about the OLMA bratwurst. The first mentions of the “most famous Eastern Swiss woman” date back to 1438, when she was already causing a stir on the St. Gallen barbecue. In no other Swiss city have such fine and unmistakably tasty bratwursts been produced as in St. Gallen. But it was one variant that made it the region's culinary flagship: the OLMA bratwurst. What this bratwurst gives St. Gallen and far beyond to this day is that genuine meat aroma, pure, fine and not adulterated by any intrusive spices. So it's no wonder that the St. Gallen Bratwurst, a typically Swiss quality product in all its variations, has been a household name throughout Switzerland for decades. It belongs to St. Gallen like the monastery and every fellow confederate from all parts of the country raves about the incomparable taste and the delicate bite in a St. Gallen and OLMA bratwurst. And this has been the case for over 500 years.
Not every sausage becomes famous after a trade fair and certainly not named after it. Our beloved veal bratwurst does, because the legendary OLMA bratwurst, which weighs 160 g, only gained real Swiss fame through the Eastern Swiss Fair for Agriculture and Dairy, OLMA for short, from which it also takes its name. At this traditional trade fair, to which thousands flock to St. Gallen every autumn, visitors from all over Switzerland have been able to enjoy our finely roasted veal bratwurst for decades. Anyone who has ever been to the city of Gallus knows: a finely roasted St. Gallen bratwurst with a crispy St. Galler Bürli and a St. Gallen beer is as much a part of the cityscape as the monastery is. Ultimately, it was precisely this trade fair that brought our Bratwurst, St. Gallen and Eastern Switzerland to culinary fame. Since then, in addition to being a monastery and OLMA city, St. Gallen has also been affectionately nicknamed Bratwurst City, and we are proud of that!
