Manner Original Neapolitaner

Manner Original Neapolitaner is a world-renowned Austrian confectionery product, famous for its five layers of tender wafers filled with four layers of delicate hazelnut-cocoa cream. Invented in 1898 by Josef Manner I in Vienna, the recipe has remained largely unchanged for over a century, characterized by the specific use of Italian hazelnuts from the Naples region, which gave the product its 'Neapolitaner' name. The packaging is iconic for its 'Manner Pink' color and the silhouette of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.

To this day, the brand remains a symbol of Austrian culinary tradition. Production is centralized in Austria, primarily at the original factory site in Vienna and another facility in Wolkersdorf. Ownership has notably stayed independent; Josef Manner & Comp. AG is a publicly traded company on the Vienna Stock Exchange, with a significant portion of shares still held by the founding family, ensuring that the brand preserves its heritage and quality standards without being absorbed by larger international food conglomerates.
