The History of The Wafer

1925 - Alfons Loacker founded his own bakery in Bolzano/Italy.

As the saying goes: A big dream is essential if you want to shape the future.

Alfons Loacker had a dream, and in 1925 he made it come true when he bought the pastry shop in Bolzano where he had worked ever since he was a boy. It was he who created the first "Bolzano wafer", a scrumptious delight, crisp and thin, filled with the most luscious creams.

The Secrets of a Superior Wafer

A good wafer, like those crafted by Loacker, begins with the purest ingredients. Embracing a philosophy of "Quality from Nature," Loacker uses no added flavorings or colors, ensuring the authentic taste of each ingredient shines through.

The ideal wafer is crispy, light, and airy, achieved by careful selection of non-GMO ingredients such as Italian hazelnuts and Alpine milk, combined with sustainable practices. Loacker's dedication to natural high-quality raw materials and environmental respect makes their wafers a true indulgence of purity and taste.
