Overview

Andrä Hörtnagl Produktion und Handel GmbH, trading as Hörtnagl, is an Austrian butcher and meat-products company based in Tyrol. It produces and sells sausages, cold cuts, ham and other Fleisch- und Wurstwaren, and it also runs a food-service operation with a daily lunch menu. The company positions itself around the claim 'Beste Wurst. Sonst nichts.' ('Best sausage. Nothing else.'), emphasizing traditional recipes, master-butcher craftsmanship and regional sourcing. According to its official website, only high-quality raw materials and fresh ingredients are used for Hörtnagl products, processed by master butchers on the basis of handed-down recipes that have been carefully adapted to modern taste. All of the company's meat and sausage products come from animals raised in Austria, and nearly one fifth of them are of exclusively Tyrolean origin. The range is presented through a digital 'counter' (Theke) with seasonal recipes and product ideas, as well as a dedicated sausage guide (Würstelguide) with serving and preparation suggestions. Beyond production, Hörtnagl operates a catering and lunch service: from Monday to Friday it offers a hearty, affordable midday dish for €11.50, featuring local specialties and down-to-earth Tyrolean cooking. The brand also markets snack and hiking products suited to Tyrolean outdoor culture, underlining its connection to the regional 'Jause' tradition. The company is a private Austrian limited-liability entity (GmbH). Wikidata classifies it simply as a butchery in Tyrol. No parent company, ownership group or stock listing is indicated in the available evidence.
