Lungau potatoes
SPAR expands assortment with regional organic potatoes
SPAR storekeeper Wolfgang Wilding presents the "Lungauer Eachtling": Regional organic potatoes now available at all SPAR, EUROSPAR and INTERSPAR supermarkets in Salzburg.
All potato varieties, such as Ditta, Laura and Melody are called Eachtling and the harvest was excellent this year. However, the slow growing Eachtling has limited availability. About 200 farmers in the region cultivate the potatoes at a surface of 80 hectares. The maximal yield is around 25 metric tons according to Andreas Kaiser, Managing Director of the Lungau Farmers Association. The association has been in cooperation with SPAR since 2005. “We are glad to offer our customers the Eachtling again this year, and are confident that the organic potato with a long history will convince food lovers,” states Christof Rissbacher managing director of SPAR Salzburg and Tirol.
These potatoes are especially suitable for the preparation of salads, jacket potatoes and gratins. Customers should store the “Eachtling” in a dark, cool place, but never in the refrigerator.
