Our values
Cooperative unity
We are more than a company—we are a community. Over 500 families work together, share responsibility and shape the future of the Vipiteno Dairy Cooperative.
Natural quality
Our products are authentic, honest and unadulterated. We rely on fresh milk, gentle processing and the greatest care.
Sustainability & responsibility
We think about tomorrow. For us, that means using resources carefully and taking responsibility for people, animals and nature.
Tradition & regional identity
Our home shapes who we are. We stay true to our roots, focus on careful work, and are authentic and loyal.
Small-scale farming
Our milk comes from family farms, often run for many generations. This ensures quality and a vibrant cultural landscape.
Protecting & caring for the landscape
Our farmers manage their meadows and fields, often on steep slopes and under challenging conditions. In this way, they care for and preserve the landscape.
Honesty & transparency
Trust, appreciation and respect shape how we treat one another—within the cooperative and with everyone who experiences our work and our products.
Forward thinking & innovation
We value our traditions, but we don’t rest on them. We continuously develop further: regular product range expansions and flexible adjustments to customer needs matter to us..
Our mission
We produce natural, honest and high-quality foods that connect people, nature and tradition. In doing so, together with the farmers of our cooperative, we secure and shape the livelihood and future of agriculture in the region.
Our vision
We want to be a brand that conveys trust, enthusiasm and true enjoyment. We support local agriculture, work closely with our member farmers, rely on short supply chains and sustainability across the entire value chain, and place the satisfaction of our consumers at the center. Responsibility, respect and down-to-earth values—as well as preserving cooperative principles—shape our actions today and in the future.
The Vipiteno Dairy Cooperative has become an integral part of the region and makes a major contribution to healthy development and the preservation of agriculture.
Responsibility & sustainability
We don’t just talk about sustainability—we act on it. Our own photovoltaic system on the roof of the Cooperative is just one example. We rely on traditional small-scale farming, short routes, gentle processing and a respectful approach to nature, animals and people.
