Gluten-free goodness
Drumlerhof, Campo Tures
The word has spread about Drumlerhof’s gluten-free kitchen in Campo Tures. People with gluten-intolerance from near and far have been coming here for over twenty years to taste the region’s best gluten-free dishes, created by our very own Ruth, who is herself a coeliac. One thing we can say for sure: at Hotel Drumlerhof, every guest experience is the same, whether coeliac or not. All of our guests come here to relax, to explore the mountains and, above all, to freely eat what they enjoy.
Without...
… gluten please
When I discovered more than twenty years ago that I am a coeliac, I really didn’t know what to do. I stood in front of the kitchen cupboard and thought: now what can I eat? Invitations, parties and family celebrations amounted to torture. At restaurants I always asked, “How is this sauce made?” Or: “Please be sure there are no croutons in my salad!” And then: “Do you have any buckwheat cake?” It was sometimes quite unpleasant at the beginning. But at a certain point, I learned to get used to it. Then I was struck with the idea of creating gluten-free cuisine at Drumlerhof. And even today I am continually moving it forward, with a great deal of passion. And so for all my dear “intolerant” friends: at Drumlerhof, you can enjoy sandwiches, cakes, strudel, pasta and pizza. Here, nobody needs to ask questions about ingredients. All you have to do is say that you’re a “zollie” – our German nickname for coeliacs – and I will take care of everything personally. A whole lot of goodness. No problem at all.
Ruth’s labour of love
Ruth assists coeliac guests with passionate care and absolute professionalism.
To us, gluten-free cuisine is so much more than a marketing strategy – it’s something close to our heart. As a coeliac herself, Ruth knows exactly what it takes and goes the extra mile to offer guests with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance a perfect, care-free holiday experience.
The kitchen at Drumlerhof is specially designed for this purpose, with a separate block reserved exclusively for the preparation of gluten-free dishes. Ruth and her kitchen brigade have been working on new recipes for years, experimenting, honing and perfecting every detail. The results are amazing. She has even published her own cookbook, which contributed to her region-wide renown as an expert in gluten-free cuisine. With her creativity and dedication, she has become a true point of reference. At Drumlerhof, you can indulge freely with first-class gluten-free cuisine. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect.
At breakfast
Even if you are on a gluten-free diet, your day can begin with the seductive taste of a breakfast roll.
We believe that nobody should have to give up on good food, especially while on holiday. This is why your host Ruth teamed up with our chefs to experiment. Together, they tinkered, weighed, kneaded... until they found a recipe for the perfect bread, free from wheat, rye, spelt or other grains containing gluten.
At lunch
You can have lunch à la carte in our Restaurant Drumlerstuben (not included in the room rate)
Our menu includes, among other things, gluten-free version of classic pasta and traditional South Tyrolean dough-based dishes such as Schlutzer. We are proud to say our host Ruth is a real expert in gluten-free pasta. She’s been perfecting her dough recipe for over 20 years. The result is a menu of pasta and dumpling specialities that will seduce any palate. Lunch at Restaurant Drumlerstuben is not included in our half-board arrangement.
For those who spend the day out in the mountains, we offer a gluten-free packed lunch with tasty treats to eat on the go, for a nominal contribution of €5.
In the afternoon
First-class temptations
Simply divine! Our gluten-free poppy seed strudel is a great favourite among our guests, gluten-intolerant or not. Our afternoon snacks include this and other desserts, freely available for all guests.
At dinner
Drumlerhof’s culinary experience peaks at dinner, where Italian classics share the menu with the intense flavours of the Alpine kitchen. From refined starters to authentic Italian pasta and Tyrolean Knödel, all dishes are available in gluten-free versions to everyone’s delight.
The absolute highlight, however, is our delicious pizza – straight from the oven! On Saturdays, during our usual aperitif, host Stefan bakes his pizza with regional toppings and an extra sprinkle of love. Naturally gluten-free, and absolutely irresistible.
We also serve gluten-free versions of traditional South Tyrolean fare such as Tirtln (baked pastries with savoury fillings) – something you don’t want to miss. At Drumlerhof, every evening is a feast for the senses!
