Lebkuchen Schmidt Premium Schwarz/Black Elise

Indulge in the rich, chocolatey depths of Schwarze Elise, one of the most beloved specialties from Lebkuchen Schmidt. These authentic Nuremberg Lebkuchen are distinguished by their dark, sumptuous colour and irresistible flavour – thanks to a generous helping of fine cocoa blended into the traditional gingerbread dough.

According to legend, company founder E. Otto Schmidt once knocked over a tin of cocoa while experimenting in the bakery. The result? A happy accident that led to one of Schmidt’s most iconic creations. Today, these Black Elisen Lebkuchen remain a festive favourite: deeply spiced, rich in nuts, baked on delicate wafers, and finished with a crisp dark chocolate coating.

A must-try for German gingerbread lovers, Schwarze Elise is a decadent seasonal treat with a storied past – perfect for gifting or enjoying with a warm drink by the fire.
