Kästner Iglu (Hansi)

Kästner Iglu (often associated with the name 'Hansi') is a traditional Austrian confectionery product manufactured by Franz Kästner GmbH. Founded in 1559, Kästner is one of Austria's oldest family-run companies, based in Bad Leonfelden. The brand is renowned for its specialties, including Lebkuchen (gingerbread) and Mignon waffles.

The 'Iglu' product is a specific chocolate-coated confectionery item, typically featuring a marshmallow or cream filling on a wafer base, shaped like a dome or igloo. This product is a staple of the Austrian sweet market and is frequently sold in large, iconic boxes at major retailers like Hofer and Spar. Production remains centralized in Bad Leonfelden, preserving the artisanal quality and regional heritage of the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel region.
