SIG / GSIG FOREST CHOCOLATE | Traditional Specialty from the Bregenzerwald | Secret Rarity from the Heart of the Alpine World

(G)SIG Forest Chocolate, a rare and almost mystical specialty from the Bregenzerwald, is as elusive as its flavors – unmistakable and thrilling.

Those who inquire about it are often met with puzzlement, for beyond the narrow mountain valleys where this delicacy resides, only a few are privy to this secret of the alpine herders.

The taste of SIG is an extraordinary journey, oscillating between the extremes of love and hate. Once tasted, there’s no going back – you either fall for it completely or reject it outright.

SIG or GSIG. What Exactly Is It? How Is This Specialty Made?

But what exactly is SIG? SIG is not an ordinary sweet, not a chocolate, even though it is sometimes referred to as “Forest Chocolate.”

It is much more a product of artisanal mastery, a rare treasure of alpine gastronomy. Made from the whey left over from mountain cheese production, the liquid is slowly simmered for hours.

What remains is a malleable mass with the consistency of marzipan and an incomparable taste: sweet, salty, caramel-like, yet with a subtle, almost mysterious spiciness that captivates the senses. Cream, butter, and sugar give SIG its creamy, velvety texture that melts on the tongue.

The production process is time-consuming and requires a great deal of patience and skill.

Only when cooked slowly in a copper kettle over several hours does the so-called “Schotto Wasser” develop its full power. From 65 liters of this unassuming, milky liquid, only about 25 SIG balls are produced in the end – each one a piece of rare delight.

It is an experience that elevates the term “handmade” to a new level, and a true delicacy for those fortunate enough to taste it.

The taste of (G)SIG is hard to put into words, as it challenges the taste buds in an unusual way. Sweet and salty, creamy and caramelized – all in a single bite. It’s as if two completely opposing worlds collide, unleashing a storm of the senses.

Some love it, others can’t warm up to it. Yet it’s precisely this polarity that makes SIG so fascinating and desirable.

If you’re ready to embark on a new, bold flavor adventure, then take the plunge – try SIG. You might fall in love with it… or swear it off forever. An experience that, either way, will leave a lasting impression.

SIG or GSIG Forest Chocolate. Unique and delightful – not cheese, not chocolate, but something in between.

An Attempt to Describe How SIG Forest Chocolate or Alpine Chocolate Tastes

Short version: A robust caramel chord settles on the tongue, with sweet and salty notes urging the taste buds to dance.

SIG entails a very high, traditional production effort. But the enjoyment is worth every bit of it.

SIG tastes intensely of whey and has a brown color. It is eaten like chocolate or as a candy.

Its consistency is reminiscent of marzipan. In the upscale cuisine of Vorarlberg, you’ll often find a SIG parfait on the menu.

SIG is said, much like whey, to be good for stomach and digestive issues, making it a home remedy as well.
