Manner

The Taste of Vienna

At a time when high-quality confections were out of reach for everyone but Vienna’s well-to-do, Josef Manner set out to make a wafer that would be both great tasting and affordable. In 1898, he created the Neapolitaner: a five-layer hazelnut cream-filled wafer cookie, wrapped in single-serve foil and accessible to all. His extraordinary wafer cookies perfectly captured the taste and spirit of his time. A family-run business since 1890, Manner still uses Josef’s secret recipe today to preserve the great “Manner taste”. All Manner wafer cookies are produced in the original Vienna bakery to the highest standard, with the very best in-house roasted cocoa beans and spring water from the Austrian Alps.

Sustainability

Sustainability is very important for Manner - their future depends both on their suppliers and customers. That is why Manner has decided to only use 100% certified sustainable cocoa for all Manner wafer cookie products. Therefore, all Manner wafer cookies and cake products received the well-known Fairtrade cocoa seal in 2021.

Fairtrade Cocoa

Products bearing the Fairtrade seal are made of raw materials grown and traded according to the international standards of Fairtrade International. These standards are the set of rules that smallholder cooperatives and companies must comply with along the entire value chain and change trade(s). They include social, ecological and economic minimum requirements to ensure sustainable development of producer organizations in the so-called developing countries.

Quality Guarantee

The traditional family-owned company produces exclusively in Austria and bestows great care on their products. Manner has used the same original Austrian recipes for over 100 years according to a strict quality criteria, and never use artificial colors, preservatives, or hydrogenated fats. This allows Manner to unite generations and evoke sweet memories.
