At Loacker, 100% of the milk and dairy derivatives used in our cream fillings—including whole milk, skimmed milk, and whey powder—are exclusively sourced from the Alpine region. All dairy cows in our supply chain are fed exclusively with guaranteed NON-GMO feed.
Every step of the milk’s journey, from collection at mountain family farms to gentle processing, is handled with precision, complete traceability, and respect for nature to preserve its natural taste and nutritional integrity.
To ensure our specialties are accessible to diverse communities worldwide, our entire milk supply chain is both Kosher and Halal certified, reflecting our core brand values of fairness, respect, and inclusivity.
In Vandoies/Vintl, we established Dolomites Milk in partnership with Brimi (Centro Latte Bressanone), one of South Tyrol’s leading dairy cooperatives. Operational since November 2019, this joint drying facility transforms fresh Alpine whey, skimmed milk, and whole milk into high-quality powdered ingredients for our recipes.
To reduce environmental impact at our production facilities, the Dolomites Milk plant is powered through a biogas supply contract of 21,000 MWh, covering approximately 70% of the facility's total gas requirements. Furthermore, 100% of the electricity supplied to the plant comes from certified renewable sources (guaranteed by Certificate of Origin).
Our long-term partnership with the Brimi dairy cooperative builds a transparent, responsible, and resilient supply chain. By relying entirely on Alpine milk, we directly support local dairy farmers and promote sustainable regional development.
Selecting Vandoies/Vintl as the home of Dolomites Milk was a deliberate decision to minimize transport distances. Situated directly between our primary production sites in Auna di Sotto (IT) and Heinfels (AT), and just a few kilometers from Brimi, the plant enables short, efficient supply routes. And now, our primary transport suppliers exclusively use Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for container transport.
We give new life to a valuable byproduct: fresh whey left over from cheese production by South Tyrolean dairy companies. At Dolomites Milk, this whey is transformed into fine whey powder—an essential ingredient that gives our cream fillings their signature smoothness.
In South Tyrol, dairy farmers in our supply chain participate in the South Tyrol Animal Welfare Project—a regional initiative dedicated to farm animal health and wellbeing.
Co-led by the Working Group for Farm Animal Science at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (UNIBZ) and the South Tyrolean Dairy Association, the program systematically monitors and improves key animal welfare indicators: continuous access to fresh water and clean resting areas; body condition scoring, hoof health, and natural mobility; birth rate monitoring and specialized training programs for farmers.
This structured care is implemented across all 5,000 family-run farms in the region. With an average herd size of 15 cows and 8 calves per farm, dairy farming here remains a deeply personal commitment built on daily attention, dignity, and respect.
