Dream fulfilled
Record shark Mössmer is an Italian farmer
Patrick Mössmer enjoys legendary status at Innsbruck's ice hockey club. His number 10 hangs under the roof of the TIWAG Arena and is no longer used by the Sharks. In Tuscany, the ex-professional provides a culinary delight by producing his own olive oil.
Cooking was already his great passion during his professional career, which he ended in 2017. Patty has also been a member of the Slow Food movement for many years. Since 2021, he and his wife Sylwia have been producing olive oil part-time from their own grove in Montiano. A small village in southern Tuscany, 100 kilometers from Rome.
Chance took the lead
Chance fulfilled a dream for the 41-year-old, who is the Sharks' record player with 753 games. "We were actually looking around for a small apartment. It was corona time, many people had to sell. We were immediately hooked," says Mössmer. Suddenly they owned eight hectares of land with olive trees and a house in need of renovation.
Help from the neighbor
The Innsbruck native immersed himself in the subject. "I read a lot and learned from the farmer next door. He also takes care of organizational matters for us. I am now officially an Italian farmer. The harvest is brutal work," grins Mössmer, who still has his main residence in Tyrol but travels a lot as a self-employed farmer.
We are in Tuscany once a month. More in the summer. Whenever I wake up in the morning, I feel like I'm in the wrong movie. It's a dream.
