TASTE OF VIENNA
The iconic Manner Wafer, since 1890 When Josef Manner started his now legendary confectionary dynasty in 1890’s Vienna, he did so with the ambitious dream of supplying “chocolate for everyone.” It remains a mantra that the company promotes to this day, via their variety of inventive products which are often designed to accommodate our modern on-the-go lifestyle (such as the delicious Cubi-Doo). To this day, the Manner company still produces their sweet delicacies in the heart of Vienna according to the finest of their original recipes. The manner wafer specifically, still remains one of their most popular products they sell worldwide. One of the early decisions of Josef Manner I, which would prove to be quite a wise decision indeed, was to pack all of the company’s products in their now iconic pink, and label them with his name in blue. From that time until now, it is often this color that is associated with Viennese sweets– which is also known as “candy pink” in Austria. This unique combination still proves to be an eye catcher on the sweets shelf! Since 1890 the Manner family have been producing high quality wafers and it remains their calling card to this day. Five layers of crispy, paper-thin wafers and four layers of the finest hazelnut-chocolate-cream filling with 12% hazelnuts culminate to make up the famous Manner Original Neapolitan that has been the best-seller in the Manner product range for decades. This product has become synonymous with the highest quality wafer production, and has at this point reached cult status in Austria, and made the brand popular far beyond its home country‘s borders. At present, Manner is exporting to more than 50 countries all over the world. In 2012, their export quota reached 57.4% of their total business. Their most important export markets outside of Western Europe are the 198
USA, Russia, and the Middle East and North Africa. And true to their reputation, Manner remains the number one wafer brand in Austria, Germany, and Slovenia. Manner’s most valuable treasures are their secret original recipes. The task is not only to preserve these sweet traditions, which they do with pride, but also to translate them according to the evolving palates of modern life. For this reason, they constantly develop new products to match the current trends of the sweet teeth around the globe. The latest successfully launched product is the Manner Whole Grain Wafers with 30% less sugar. In keeping with their on-the-go items, they also have the Manner Cubidoo, Manner Minis or
Manner Picknick Sticks! What makes Manner cocoa and chocolate so unique is the in-house production from the cocoa bean. The delicate flavor and high creaminess are achieved through special roasting, fine grinding, and several hours of clenching of the cocoa beans. The chocolate quality label stands for the highest quality of Manner chocolate! Manner Wafers vary from Neapolitan, Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, and Caramel Crisp, to Whole Grain, demonstrating the trend of providing healthier options for their customers.
