Can one achieve excellence without the finest ingredients? We don’t think so. We adore the authentic taste that only nature can give, so we use no added flavorings or colors. We do not spoil what the earth offers us by changing its consistency. And there are no preservatives in our products, which are kept crispy and fragrant by high quality packaging.
But let’s take a closer look at what taking care of our raw materials means at Loacker.
For us this translates into projects that allow us to offer you the best in full respect of the planet's resources, local farmers and their families.
We only use 100% Italian hazelnuts, which partially grow in our own orchards.
With our project we support cooperatives and farmers in Ecuador and the Ivory Coast.
Our milk is from alpine origin and comes from animals fed exclusively with NON-GMO feed.
Working with local small farmers makes our vanilla sustainable, transparent and fair.
We take the first steps towards a natural taste experience when we develop our recipes. The first wafer recipe comes from the family itself. A hundred years ago, Alfons Loacker made the first “Bozner Schnitten” according to an old Austrian tradition of baking. The process of developing recipes is now more complex, but the criteria are still the same. Natural high-quality raw materials and ingredients, no added flavorings, a balanced composition and best eating quality are the foundation for every recipe. But our products should not only taste good, they must also be wholesome. That’s why we don’t use ingredients that can negatively affect the health of consumers, such as genetically modified raw materials.
Most of our Loacker products are produced in our production facilities in Auna di Sotto/Unterinn and Heinfels. Both of them are nestled in the heart of the Alps in the midst of pristine nature - where the water is fresh and the air is pure. And no matter where in the world you find Loacker products on the shelves, there is no difference in quality. We really value the careful handling of raw materials and ingredients during production. We aim to emphasize the special characteristics of each ingredient and preserve their quality. But careful processing also helps to minimize rejects and thus to save resources. Short lead times further guarantee that the products are always packed and shipped fresh and without loss of quality.
This is how we take responsibility for people, for the environment and for our quality.

Our wafers are the essence of pure goodness and they represent the best of Loacker. Their meticulous preparation was first refined with masterly skill by Alfons Loacker and later by his son Armin, who preserved and enhanced the original recipe.
The unmistakable Loacker wafer is the perfect accomplice for our creams. The ideal base for irresistible toppings, and a discreet, delicious part of our specialties. And it now comes in a new form: that of our crispies.
Falling in love with hazelnuts is only natural, and even more so if they're Italian. Here at Loacker, we know we need to choose Italian hazelnuts, the ones with the most generous aroma.
What makes many of our creams absolutely irresistible is the cocoa, a precious ingredient that we select and process with passion.
Its harmonious bouquet and alluring taste are given by the care with which the seeds are selected.

With a delightfully pleasant taste, Italian almonds add a special touch to some of our specialties, making them really hard to resist.
The finely shredded flakes, made from coconuts from Indonesia and the Philippines, on the one hand enhance the aroma of the raw materials and on the other make our fillings so irresistibly creamy and soft.
The best-loved lemon oils come from Sicilian lemons. The peel, as yellow as the sun that so generously shines upon this island, contains the authentic essence of freshness in concentrated drops of nature.
All it takes is a taste to sense that we only use orange oils from Italian oranges, with their skins packed with flavor. That's why we don't need to add any colors or preservatives. When it comes down to it, this is what purity really is for us: a way of respecting nature in order to satisfy your wishes in the most genuine way possible.

It is with good reason that peanut butter is viewed as an excellent snack and a feature of American cuisine. In this treat, you will find Loacker's take on this delicacy. Peanut butter is the result of a long and careful process that includes selecting the fruits, removing the outer layer, blanching, roasting and grinding them.
Being truly discerning is an important art. Our precious wholemeal flour is the result of an accurate selection of only the finest grains of spelt, wheat and oats. Once they have been chosen, the whole grains are delicately ground in a special mill up in the mountains in South Tyrol, close to Loacker, in a pure and pristine environment.
