With its roots in the South Tyrolean butcher's trade, the name Siebenförcher has stood for carefully produced speck with a balanced flavour for generations.
Speck tradition since 1930
Gottfried Siebenförcher founded a small butcher's shop in the arcades of Meran/Merano in 1930. Shortly after, a production facility was added in Gratsch.
Over the decades, this business developed into a family company with several locations. When the founder passed on his company in the 1970s, each of his two sons received their own share. In addition to the shop in the town centre, a separate production facility was established in Untermais. The company continued to grow when the next generation joined in the 1990s. The family business is now run by the third generation.
Structured quality assurance
A defined testing procedure combining sensory analysis and modern technology guarantees consistent product quality.
Modern food technology forms the basis of production at the Siebenförcher brand. However, careful sensory testing remains crucial.
The youngest son of the family, Florian Siebenförcher, is a graduate of the technical college for food technology in Kulmbach. He oversees the family recipe and is responsible for quality assurance.
In regular tastings, several samples are assessed according to set criteria: the external appearance, colour, smell and taste are precisely recorded and documented. This structured quality control system enables the family to continuously develop their speck.
