HOFER-METZG Frische-Insel (Urtenen-Schönbühl)

Welcome to the Freshness Island

Fresh food from Urtenen-Schönbühl as well as from the canton of Bern and Switzerland

For you, we lend a hand. What you find in the Frische-Insel comes from our own production. Or we have bought it fresh from selected cantonal and regional suppliers. The exception is wine and cheese. Here, we carry delicacies from all over Switzerland.

The Frische-Insel stands for fresh food from the village and the region. The current season determines our offer. What you buy from us meets your quality requirements. Because we know every supplier personally and pay attention to everything you value when shopping.

Original, pressure-free and completely natural, the mineral-rich spring water from the Urtenenberg flows directly into the Frische-Insel. As a healthy refreshment, it is just waiting to be bottled and drunk by you.

Store:

"Ueli der Beck" , "Vom Chäser" and "Hofer Metzg**"** stand for freshness and tradition

Because cheese or meat, jam or honey belongs on the bread.

Ueli der Beck", "Vom Chäser" and "Hofer Metzg****"** **are on a first-name basis with their products. They can trace every single product back to the producer. Even back to the pasture, the field or the grain. This is the basis on which the three traditional companies have joined forces. In order to offer you high-quality goods at a coherent price in the island of freshness.

In the beginning there was the idea: Urtenen-Schönbühl needs a center for fresh shopping. The idea gave rise to the Frische-Insel. With fresh bread straight from the oven. Meat, self-slaughtered and freshly processed. As well as cheese specialties from Switzerland.

Suppliers from the canton of Bern as well as from Urtenen-Schönbühl and the region complement the assortment with fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. You will find seasonal delicacies as well as down-to-earth fare in the Frische-Insel.

Unique pearls of pleasure are revealed in our wine selection. Only selected Swiss wines find their way into the Frische-Insel. Our fresh well water, which finds its way from the Urtenenberg to the store naturally and without pressure, is a perfect match.

We slaughter ourselves

The meat from Hofer Metzg meets all expectations. We select the slaughter animals ourselves with a trained eye. We make sure that the animals are reared extensively with plenty of free range and in an animal-friendly manner. We accept as suppliers only farms from the surrounding area. Thus, our slaughtered animals have a short transport route and reach our butchery in the best physical condition. Our staff is expertly trained and ensures that the animals are not exposed to unnecessary stress at any time. This is good for the animal, but also good for you. Thanks to these principles, our meat products are of a convincing high quality. When eating raw, grilling or cooking.
We cannot slaughter chicken meat ourselves. We are not equipped to do so. Therefore we purchase the chicken meat from Favorit AG in Kappelen (BE). Favorit AG attaches great importance to animal-friendly rearing and the highest quality.

Bakery:

With fresh bread we bake your day

With fresh pies, cakes or confectionery we sweeten your evening

Every bread, croissant as well as every cake is handmade in the traditional way. In the Frische-Insel you will find a large selection of fine baked goods from Ueli der Beck. A meeting place for all bread tigers and gourmets.

For our baked goods and confectionery delights we use selected ingredients from choice suppliers. We source most of it from the region or from Switzerland. Where this is not possible, we pay attention to fair trade. As, for example, with our chocolate from Max Felchlin AG, which has no dark side. That's all we want to say about it. Try our goods and you will taste a little pinch of happiness.

Dairy:

Characteristic cheese specialties

We maintain the tradition of the Swiss cheese making craft

Cheese is a cultural asset in Switzerland. Every region has its specialties, every cheese has its own history. In the Freshness Island, we offer you a selection of choice specialties that you will not find in the wholesale trade.

As a distribution partner, we help small, often family-run cheese dairies across the country share local treats with cheese lovers around the world. At the same time, we promote the development and marketing of innovative new products from village dairies. In this way, traditional knowledge and valuable jobs are preserved in the peripheral regions. Because we believe that cheese with origin has a future.

In our department you will also find fresh milk, yogurt and butter for bread.
