Biscotto Igel Waffeln (Glazed Wafers)

Biscotto is a well-known private label brand primarily associated with ALDI, a leading global discount supermarket chain originating from Germany. The 'Igel Waffeln' or Glazed Wafers are specifically designed as a high-quality, affordable snack option within their confectionery range. The brand focuses on delivering traditional European-style biscuits and wafers to a broad international market.

Manufacturing for Biscotto products usually takes place in Germany or other parts of the European Union, utilizing specialized confectionery production facilities that meet ALDI’s strict quality and sustainability standards, such as the Fairtrade Cocoa program visible on the packaging. As a private label, the production is often outsourced to established regional manufacturers who produce the goods exclusively under the Biscotto name.

Ownership of the brand lies with ALDI (specifically ALDI Nord and ALDI Süd depending on the region). Since its founding by the Albrecht family, ALDI has grown into a global powerhouse in the retail sector, maintaining a business model centered on efficiency and value. The Biscotto brand remains a core part of their dry goods portfolio as we move into 2026 and beyond.
