International Trappist Association

The International Trappist Association is an organization that represents Trappist monasteries around the world, which are known for their commitment to monastic life, prayer, and the production of high-quality goods, like beer and cheese. Founded to promote and protect the Trappist name, it ensures that products labeled as "Trappist" are made within these monasteries by monks and adhere to specific guidelines. This certification helps consumers identify authentic Trappist products while also supporting the monks' traditional way of life. The association also fosters collaboration and communication between different Trappist communities globally.
