The
company is engaged in manufacturing of a Czech specific product
– typical spa wafers. The family business was established in 1994
and started with a limited production of three wafer brands for
a small number of customers. The quality of its products soon
became well-known and popular. Increased demand for the products
brought increased number of employees. Nowadays the company distributes
the products all over the Czech Republic, especially to the cities
frequently visited by both Czech and foreign tourists. The wafers
have become a traditional present for their families and friends.
The first reference to production and sale of the bake-together
spa wafers is connected with the town founded by the Czech king
and emperor Charles IV – Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad), also famous
for its healing springs – and goes back to 1856. The wafers are
also sometimes called „Karlsbad wafers“ after the place of origin.
The original wafers are the bake-together ones sprinkled with
a mixture of hazelnuts, sugar and vanilla. They were sold in the
late 19th and early 20th century on the spa colonnade, warm, just
taken out from the oven and numerous Czech and foreign celebrities
of political and cultural life appreciated their lightness, crispness
and excellent flavouring. These warm wafers were exceptionally
attractive for all town visitors in the era.
Our company found inspiration for its production in a cookery
book from 1869. In Secion II, Chapter 24 titled „Pastry“ there
is a recipe for filled baked-together nut wafers called „Karlsbad“.
The book also states that „the wafers are especially
good for ill people, since they are nutritious, they do not load
stomach and people like them“.
At present the company manufactures several types of spa wafers
and „triangles“, obviously the classic baked-together nut wafers
which are exceptionally delicious, especially warm. When the wafers
are warm their aroma and taste may come out, therefore our customers
are recommended to heat our traditional nut wafers a little in
a microwave oven. The recommendation applies to a recently launched
brand with apple flavour.
The next type our company manufactures are wafers and triangles
filled with whipped cream. We make several different fillers,
the best-known and most popular are the chocolate wafers and triangles.
We also have a product for diabetics and those limiting their
sugar intake – wafers where the classic refined sugar is replaced
with sugarless sweetener.
The company exports its products to Austria and Germany where
they are very popular. At present the company co-operates with
a company from Arkansas, U.S.A. and with a Canadian company from
Toronto in the sphere of know-how.
Once
you taste our products you will undoubtedly be satified. We hope
you will appreciate their quality and keep coming back.
If you have not tasted them yet, the time has come to do so. Bon
appetit!
