Short Dated Lebkuchen-Schmidt Large Nuremberg Story Biscuit Chest, 925g

The Nuremberg story biscuit chest is a beautiful gift for food lovers. The German city is the source of many myths and legends and each year, Lebkuchen-Schmidt asks local artists to illustrate one of these stories for their iconic biscuit chest. Inside, you will find a selection of their famous Lebkuchen and Speculoos, plus a pamphlet which tells the full story.

Serve these delicious German biscuits with mulled wine to get party guests in the festive spirit. This decorative chest can be kept as a keepsake long after the biscuits are finished. 

Lebkuchen are traditional German biscuits, said to have been invented by medieval monks. With a soft texture somewhere between a cake and a cookie, these spiced biscuits are similar to gingerbread but richer and made with honey instead of molasses. They are particularly popular at Christmastime, but they’re delicious all year round!

Speculoos biscuits are shortcrust cookies flavoured with brown sugar and warming spices. Originally from Belgium, variations of the spiced biscuit are popular all over Europe and beyond. They are crisp and buttery with a rich, caramelised flavour that is similar to gingerbread.
