Introduced as the Lebkuchen of the Year in 2024, the Elisen-Schatz (Elisen Treasure) from Lebkuchen Schmidt is a standout among authentic Nuremberg Lebkuchen. This exceptional German gingerbread is made without flour, resulting in a dense, moist texture that lets the quality ingredients shine.

The recipe features raisins soaked in Jamaican rum and coarse chopped hazelnuts for bold flavor and a delightful bite. Each cookie is enrobed in creamy milk chocolate, finished with fine dark chocolate stripes – a visual and culinary treat.

Masterfully crafted using time-honoured methods, the Elisen-Schatz is a luxurious holiday indulgence – perfect on a festive cookie platter, with coffee or mulled wine, or as a unique gift for true gingerbread lovers.
