The Unique Ingredients that Make the Original so Special
“What are all the Poet’s Words against a Linzer Torte!”
(Ernst von Wildenbruch)
Enjoyment with History:
A Linzer Torte Specialty since 1653
Over 370 Years of Enjoyment from Linz
The recipe for the “Linzer Torte” is considered the oldest known cake recipe in the world. It comes from a cookbook of Countess Ann Margarita Sagramosa from 1653, which Waltraud Faissner discovered in the Stiftsbibliothek as part of her research on Linz as the European Capital of Culture 09. Many stories entwine around the origin of the name, but they cannot be historically proven. It is more likely that Linz stands as a geographical designation of origin – especially since the women of Linz already had an excellent reputation as bakers at that time. Even if the secret is never completely revealed, one thing is certain: then as now, butter, almonds, sugar, flour and fine spices are the main ingredients, whereby the characteristic redcurrant jam must not be missing.
