About Leeb Biomilch
Leeb Biomilch GmbH is an organic dairy based in Wartberg an der Krems in the Kremstal region of Upper Austria. Since 1990, the company has been producing products under the Leeb Vital brand from fresh Austrian organic sheep's milk and organic goat hay-milk, including drinking milk, natural and fruit yoghurts, quark/curd cheese, kefir, cream cheese and ice cream. The milk comes from small-scale organic farms in Austria, is collected directly and processed on the same day; the goat's milk is of hay-milk quality. Processes include pasteurisation, UHT heating on the company's own filling line (since 2018), fermentation with yoghurt, kefir and bifidus cultures as well as cheese and ice cream production. Since 2016, the dairy has also offered vegan organic milk substitute products under the MyLove-MyLife brand. Customers include the organic retail trade in Austria such as denn's Biomarkt as well as customers in European neighbouring countries. Since 2019, the company has been part of the Emmi Group. All products are organically certified and are inspected by the control body Lacon Institut (AT-BIO-402).
