Loacker Chocolaterie Dark Chocolate wafer

Loacker is an iconic Italian brand founded in 1925 by Alfons Loacker in Bolzano, South Tyrol. The brand has achieved global recognition for its commitment to high-quality ingredients, specifically its use of Italian hazelnuts, Bourbon vanilla, and high-grade chocolate.

The Chocolaterie line represents a premium segment of their snack offerings, where thin wafers are combined with layers of dark chocolate. Production remains concentrated in the heart of the Alps, with the main manufacturing facilities located in Auna di Sotto (South Tyrol, Italy) and Heinfels (East Tyrol, Austria). This strategic location allows the brand to benefit from clean alpine air and fresh water, which are integral to their brand identity of 'pure goodness.'

Unlike many global snack brands that have been acquired by conglomerates, Loacker remains an independent, family-owned business. It is currently managed by the third generation of the Loacker family, maintaining its heritage as a classic European confectionery house.
