Loacker

Loacker – Hazelnut Wafers and Wafer Cakes from South Tyrol

Loacker is a family-owned South Tyrolean wafer bakery founded by confectioner Alfons Loacker in 1925 in Bolzano. Today, its headquarters are in Unterinn on the Ritten, while a second factory operates in Heinfels in East Tyrol. Both are located at an altitude of around one thousand meters. The third generation of the family runs the company.

Three Formats for Coffee and Snacks

Our Loacker range focuses on individual portions, each sealed separately. The Classic Napolitaner is a wafer without a coating, with three layers and two layers of hazelnut cream in a 45-gram package. The Tortina Original coats the wafer and cream in milk chocolate with fine cocoa from Ecuador. The Tortina Dark features 60 percent dark chocolate and has a distinctly more bitter taste.

How to Recognize a Loacker Wafer

The cream makes up the largest part of Loacker's confectionery, and three-quarters of the Napolitaner. For this, the company roasts its own Italian hazelnuts, some of which are grown on its own estates in Tuscany. Whole Bourbon vanilla beans are used. Loacker does not use added flavorings, colorings, or preservatives. If you are looking for a thick, soft confectionery, you have come to the wrong place; the wafer layers are paper-thin and dry-baked.
