In keeping with Zauner's company philosophy of upholding tried and tested products and dealing with the past with care, we are now highlighting a product that was created in the Zauner bakery around 1886: The original Ischler tart. This is next to the Original Zaunerstollen Like no other dessert for a sweet piece of Bad Ischl history! It has already gained fame far beyond the country's borders in 1958, when it was Richard Kurth (the then bakery manager and head of the Zauner confectionery) at the World Exhibition in Brussels and was awarded the gold medal. Now we have created a befitting packaging for this traditional dessert! "We all look back on a turbulent time that was very challenging, that forced one thing or another to a standstill, but never paralyzed our creativity. So we went into our archives and looked into the history of the Zauner confectionery. When we looked at the original Ischler tart, we quickly noticed that it is already known far beyond the borders of Austria and has become a permanent part of every cookie plate at Christmas time. What is not so well known, however, is that this product was actually created in the Zauner house; the original recipe dates back to 1886. It is now time to give the original Ischler tart the importance it deserves, because it is certainly part of our sweet Bad Ischl identity!" Philipp Zauner, Managing Director of the Zauner confectionery. The Ischler tart combines fine truffle cream with crispy shortcrust pastry and a wafer-thin coating of crispy chocolate coating; finely chopped pistachios add the finishing touch to this product. Even today, the original Ischler Törtchen is baked according to the original recipe, which is kept in a safe at Zauner’s.
