Neapolitaner

A Neapolitaner wafer is a crispy wafer cookie traditionally filled with layers of hazelnut cream, originating from Vienna, Austria, and famously produced by the Manner brand since 1898. It consists of five thin, soft wafer layers sandwiched with cocoa hazelnut cream with 12% hazelnuts, creating a delightful contrast in texture.

Traditionally, the wafers are rectangular-shaped and are often enjoyed as a classic European treat with coffee or tea. The name "Neapolitaner" refers to the hazelnuts originally sourced from the Naples region in Italy and are typically sold in blocks of ten.

Many companies have copied the wafer, and today there are many variants, such as chocolate-covered wafers, lemon cream wafers, coconut wafers, whole grain wafers, chocolate cream-filled wafers, and orange cream wafers. Apart from Austria, these and similar wafers are especially popular in post-Soviet and Balkan countries.
