Manner Napolitanka Hazelnut Cream Wafers 400g (14.1oz)

Manner Napolitanka Hazelnut Cream Wafers is a 400g family-size pack of the classic Manner wafers — crisp, layered wafer sheets with smooth hazelnut cream filling — from Manner, the Viennese confectionery company that has been producing the Napolitaner wafer at its factory on Schönbrunner Strasse in Vienna since 1898. Manner is one of the most historically significant confectionery companies in Vienna and Austria, and the pink-packaged Manner wafer has become so deeply embedded in Viennese culture that it is one of the city's most recognised edible souvenirs — the wafer that Viennese residents bring back to friends as the quintessential local sweet and that diaspora members from the former Habsburg lands of Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovakia associate immediately with the flavour of Vienna. The Manner Napolitaner's lasting appeal lies in its specific hazelnut cream: the filling is lighter and more delicate than the heavier cream used in Italian and Yugoslav wafer products, producing a flavour that is hazelnut-forward without being intensely sweet, and the specific ratio of thin wafer layers to cream gives each square a particular textural balance that has remained essentially unchanged since the late 19th century. Serve alongside strong Viennese coffee in the traditional pairing that makes the Manner wafer the canonical Austrian coffee-house biscuit, present as the Viennese specialty gift that carries the flavour of the city in its pink wrapper, break from the 400g family pack for a group of guests, or keep as the household wafer for the occasion that calls specifically for the authentic Manner wafer experience.
