The “OLMA” festival is one of the most popular fairs in the whole of Switzerland. This Swiss agricultural fair showcases a variety of livestock, live “Schwingen” (Swiss wrestling) competitions, country music, local arts and crafts, as well as a vast range of culinary delights and specialties.
The OLMA is also famous for its OLMA-Bratwurst. Documented evidence indicates the St. Galler Bratwurst existed during the 15th century. A publication from 1438 by the butcher’s guild of St. Gallen outlines the requirements for producing this sausage. Since that time, the fundamental ingredients of this recipe have not changed.
At Swiss House Shop you can enjoy the traditional OLMA Bratwurst from our supplier Spiess. Spiess has been passionately producing sausage and meat products, ham and bacon products for over 50 years. Using the very best pork, beef and veal from farms in the region, which attach great importance to the keeping of the animals. Spiess keeps what they promise!

In the summertime, a popular way to prepare the St. Galler Bratwurst is on the grill. Another typical way to have this sausage is pan-fried with an onion gravy and served with mashed potatoes or Rösti.
