Konditorei Zauner presents its sweet specialties for the Year of Culture 2024
A specially created specialty from Zauner sweetens the year of the “European Capital of Culture 2024”.
In the almost 192-year history of the Zauner company, which dates back to 1832, countless specialties have been developed for special occasions. As the year of the “European Capital of Culture 2024” approached, the Zauner family was certain that an extraordinary, sweet temptation had to be created for this unique (cultural) event in our rural region! Just in time for the start of the Capital of Culture year 2024, Managing Director Philipp Zauner presents the sweet specialty for the Capital of Culture, the “Europatorte 2024”. The creation reflects the Zauner house’s interpretation of “Europe” in two senses, based on the Greek mythology surrounding the goddess “Europe”: Ingredients from all over the world are combined in Bad Ischl to create a sweet seduction and then sent all over the world. Almonds from California and Turkey, chocolates from Africa and Central America and salt from Austria are all used in this unique cake creation. Philipp Zauner: “Bringing together the most diverse ingredients of the highest quality, which are combined by hand in the heart of the Salzkammergut to create a great dessert and then shipped to the most diverse countries in the world, clearly reflects the great European idea in our eyes. Internationality through import and export has always been a top priority in the region. At the same time, an important part of our identity can be found in our new creations: salt from Hallstatt, which has shaped an entire era, including the region, and is an important component for us today.” The “Europatorte” from Konditorei Zauner combines soothing orange notes with fine creamy caramel and delicate chocolate coating. In addition, the precious salt from Hallstatt can also be found in a melt-in-the-mouth romance with caramel in the salt and caramel truffle balls created for the European Capital of Culture. The cover of the sweet creations shows the goddess “Europa”, who was abducted to Crete swimming in the form of a bull by Zeus, the father of the gods. The cover was designed by Bad Goisern illustrator and graphic designer Wolfgang Menschhorn. The products relating to the year of the “European Capital of Culture” are now available in the online store of Konditorei Zauner at www.zauner.at and in the two Bad Ischl cafés.
