Discovering Austria's Sweetest Exports

Iconic Austrian Candies and Brands
The Mozartkugel (Mozart ball) is arguably Austria's most famous sweet. This small, round praline consists of a pistachio marzipan center surrounded by nougat, all coated in dark chocolate. Originally created in Salzburg in 1890, it is a tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Manner is another iconic Austrian brand, celebrated for its crispy wafers. The Manner Neapolitaner Schnitten (Neapolitan wafers), with their hazelnut cream filling, are a national favorite and a symbol of Viennese tradition. The brand Casali is famous for its exotic treats, including the beloved Rum-Coconut balls and Chocolate Bananas.
In addition to these classics, Austria is also known for its innovative chocolate. Brands like Zotter are at the forefront of the "bean-to-bar" movement, creating a wide range of organic and fair-trade chocolates with unique and adventurous flavor combinations.
