The view is unique and the taste is too. On a hill above Lofer<\/a>, opposite the Loferer Steinberge<\/a>, Berger Feinste Confiserie in\u00a0 ” Bergers FEINHEIT<\/a>\u201c\u00a0 has been hosting seminars, events and a wonderful chocolate brunch since Spring 2018.\u00a0 “Chocolate for breakfast” is on the menu in this new place of seduction \u2013 a good enough reason for a discovery journey to the chocolate treasure of the\u00a0 Salzburger Saalachtal.<\/strong> \u00a0 Charles Dickens, the famous English author, was supposed to have said, “Nothing is more valuable than a good friend, except a friend with chocolate.” Anyone who has ever let the noble delicacies of Berger Feinste Confiserie melt in the mouth can confirm this.\u00a0 Whether with fine herbs or delicately sweet or with nuts or exotic or completely pure: the chocolate creations from Berger are always a delicately melting temptation. They consist of high-quality ingredients, without exception, some of which come from the local area, are refined with unconventional ideas and perfected\u00a0 by pure handcraft.\u00a0 It is no surprise then that the chocolates and chocolate bars from the Salzburger Saalachtal have a community of fans all over the world. Christine and Hubert Berger from Lofer have been making chocolate dreams come true since September 1994. They are Pinzgauers, heart and soul, and proud of their region. This shows in the chocolatiers’ products.\u00a0 The brandies which add a tasty twist to some of their chocolate creations originate, for example, from Siegfried Herzog from Saalfelden and the organic eggnog comes from the Farthofer distillery. The local TEH-Association<\/a>\u00a0in Unken (TEH = Traditionelle Europ\u00e4ische Heilkunde \u2013 Traditional European Medicine), provides the regional herbs and the organic cream is also sourced in the region. Home and tradition are reflected in Berger’s chocolate dreams alongside the organic and fair trade approach.\u00a0 And the philosophy of the family business can be summed up quickly: highest quality, love of craftsmanship, the power of innovation and a large dose of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Early Bird Gets the Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This works especially well with the Berger Chocolate Brunch. From March to November you can begin your day with chocolate every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Bergers serve extraordinary breakfast creations between 9 am and 1 pm. Anyone who thinks that only sweet dishes end up on the plate would be wrong. Christine and Hubert Berger tell us that chocolate contains up to 500 flavours. That is why it harmonizes so well with many other flavours. The result: a wonderful variety of sweet and spicy breakfast specialities. If you are really looking forward to chocolate for breakfast now be sure to book a table in advance. And then there’s nothing can come between you and your chocolatey (morning) pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n
