Loacker hazelnut Quadratini are authentic bite-size Napolitaner wafers filled with layers of hazelnut cream sandwiched between crispy wafers. Freshly roasted Italian hazelnuts are used to make smooth cream without adding artificial flavorings, colors, or preservatives.
A wafer is a type of crunchy, sweet, and dry biscuit named after the word “waba” (origins uncertain), meaning beehive. With predecessors like Belgian & German waffles, it’s hard to pinpoint where exactly the idea of wafers was born, but the first official recipe dates back to 1898, and it belongs to Viennese Joseph Manner, the inventor of Neapolitan wafers with an original recipe consisting of thin wafer layers and hazelnut cream filling. Since then, these cream-filled sandwich biscuits have become one of the universally beloved treats, and thanks to brands like Loacker & Lago, they’ve also established themselves as one of the Italian favorites. You can find plenty of flavors of these stunning delights in our selection of Italian wafers.
Loacker is one of the most beloved Italian producers of wafers, chocolate bars, and exquisite patisserie. The founder, Alfons Loacker, began a small bakery & cafe in 1925 in the heart of the Italian Alps, in South Tyrol, where he created his first authentic South Tyrolean wafers, “cialda di Bolzano.” Since then, the brand has expanded to 100 countries internationally and continues to provide premium wafer cookies made according to family recipes using the finest ingredients. With over 95 years of experience in perfecting the recipe, it is no wonder that Loacker’s wafers are so special.
