    A special gingerbread…

    Its plentiful spices and the generous time given for the mixture to develop its aromas and texture mean that this rectangular biscuit qualifies as a gingerbread. So, what makes it so unique? The precious ingredients used in its recipe: Honey, candied citrus fruit, and almonds.

    A little history (and a legend!)

    Originally called a "Basler Läckerli" or Basel Läckerli, this Swiss delicacy resembles gingerbread decorated with sugar icing. Legend has it that it was created under the Council of Basel in the 15th Century. At that time, the city was a buzzing, key point in spice trading, attracting countless artisans from around Alsace, particularly the region's bakers, looking or the best ingredients for their gingerbreads.

    The tales passed down over the years say it was a woman, a certain Elsi, who added in the candied lemon and orange zests to create this elegant take on gingerbread, known as "Lebküchen".

    Our Maison's recipe

    Today, there are numerous versions of Leckerli made by our Swiss neighbours and friends, as well as by Alsace families. Our Maison's traditional recipe uses only the finest ingredients: The dough is enhanced with a blend of almond, candied orange and lemon peel, and flavoured with Grand Marnier. The sugar icing has the wonderful twist of being made with Kirsch (cherry brandy). Add spices for perfect, subtle harmony.

    In a refined nod to their Swiss origins, our pâtissiers have created 2 delicacies enrobed in chocolate for further indulgence!
