Each piece weighs 21g and is individually wrapped, which is why the Loacker Tortina fits on every saucer and in every jacket pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTortina Original\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wafer specialty with hazelnut cream and milk chocolate from Loacker in South Tyrol. \"Tortina\" means \"little cake\" in Italian, and that is exactly how the piece is structured: round like a small cake, with a base, filling, and lid. Loacker considers it part of its fine patisserie and, in addition to the original, also offers a dark Tortina; here, you can get both individually, piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst the chocolate snaps, then the cream melts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the first bite, the chocolate shell breaks with a soft snap, and underneath, the two wafer layers give way with a crunch. The smooth hazelnut cream awaits in the middle, meaning three textures—snappy, crispy, and creamy—are layered in a single piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe milk chocolate tastes mild and creamy; Loacker uses fine cocoa from Ecuador for it. The cream underneath is nuttier than the delicate shell might suggest, as it consists of 27 percent hazelnuts. Real Bourbon vanilla from the pod ties both together, and because the little cake is so small, it finishes exactly at the moment you would like to have another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eItalian hazelnuts, fresh from their own roaster\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Tortina cream, Loacker processes exclusively Italian hazelnuts, which are roasted in-house. This short distance has a good reason: a hazelnut loses its aroma quickly once it has been roasted and ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who roast themselves determine the timing and the degree of roasting. The fresher the nuts come from the roaster into the cream, the fuller and warmer the entire little cake tastes later. In the Tortina, this flavor is protected under the chocolate, which seals the piece all around and keeps the wafer layers crispy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoacker now grows a portion of its hazelnuts itself on its own plantations in Tuscany. In this way, the company accompanies its nuts from the shrub to the cream. You can taste this care in a pastry that consists of more than half hazelnut cream and wafer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA little cake for saucer and jacket pocket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 21g, the Loacker Tortina is sized to fit next to an espresso cup without replacing the dessert. It sits on the saucer when coffee is served after a meal. In the office, it waits in the desk drawer for the afternoon when lunch was too long ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each little cake is individually wrapped, a handful of them can be placed in a bowl on the table for game night or when guests stay overnight. If the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/loacker-tortina-dark\"\u003eTortina Dark\u003c\/a\u003e with dark chocolate lies next to it, everyone reaches for their preference, light or dark, and in the end, the bowl is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tortina likes it cool and dry, which keeps the chocolate shiny and the wafer crisp. With a cup of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kaffee\"\u003eespresso\u003c\/a\u003e, such a little cake is gone in three or four bites. A short break often doesn't need more than that.
