Lebkuchen-Schmidt

Gingerbread Roasted Almond

Every year we choose a new recipe, which we proudly present to you, because the award-winning gingerbread specialities are among the best that leave our bakery.

Our choice for Gingerbread of the Year 2019 was Elise Roasted Almonds: a creation of two delights with a long tradition!

We don't have to tell you much about the Elisen Lebkuchen: Thanks to their exquisite ingredients, a high nut content and a low flour content, they are the crowning glory of the art of Lebkuchen. Each Elise is baked on a fine, fresh wafer and coated in various ways. The Gingerbread of the Year contains no flour in the dough and is flavoured with chocolate and slivers of roasted almonds. These sweet snacks, which are an integral part of any celebration, have a centuries-old history: They were first produced around 1650 and since then they have been spreading the unmistakable smell and taste that probably everyone of us associates with our childhood.

A historical connection that our traditional Elisen Lebkuchen have made with the all-time favourite roasted almonds. Let yourself taste the special Lebkuchen.
