Overview
Biosennerei Kolsass eGen is an Austrian organic dairy cooperative based in Kolsass in the Tyrol region. Operating under the brand name Biosennerei Kolsass (also written Bio-Sennerei Kolsass), the cooperative produces cheese exclusively from silage-free organic hay milk supplied by its member farms. The German term "Sennerei" refers to a traditional alpine dairy or cheese-making operation, and the "Bio" prefix signals certified organic production. The cooperative's product range centres on cheese, with a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability and natural ingredients. According to its official website, the staff combine extensive knowledge and passion for their craft, a fact reflected in numerous awards — including what the site describes as world-championship-level distinctions. The dairy also operates an on-site farm shop (Ladenverkauf) where customers can buy its products directly. Biosennerei Kolsass positions itself around the philosophy that "with every bite you taste nature." Its sourcing model is a defining feature: all cheeses are made exclusively from silage-free organic hay milk, a traditional Tyrolean approach that is associated with high-quality, flavourful dairy products. The cooperative structure means the dairy is owned by and works closely with its supplying farms. As a relatively small regional producer, Biosennerei Kolsass serves the Austrian market, particularly the Tyrol region, and has gained recognition through awards for its cheeses. Its online presence at biosennerei.tirol provides information on products, suppliers, philosophy and the farm shop.
History
Biosennerei Kolsass eGen is a cooperative dairy (Sennerei) based in Kolsass, Tyrol, Austria. The cooperative form (eingetragene Genossenschaft, eGen) indicates that it is owned by its member farmers, who supply the milk and share in the operation. The dairy specialises in organic cheese production and has built its identity around the use of silage-free organic hay milk, a traditional Tyrolean method that avoids silage feed and is prized for producing high-quality, aromatic cheese. Over the years, the dairy has earned numerous awards for its cheeses, including distinctions at a level the official website describes as world-championship quality. These accolades have helped establish Biosennerei Kolsass as a recognised name in Austrian organic dairy. The cooperative operates a direct sales shop (Ladenverkauf) at its site, allowing consumers to purchase its products directly. While the exact founding year is not documented in the available evidence, the cooperative is active and maintains an online presence at biosennerei.tirol, where it presents its products, suppliers, philosophy and shop. Its continued operation reflects the enduring importance of small, quality-focused alpine dairies in the Tyrolean agricultural landscape.
