A Success Story Goes Around the World 

Imperial Torte Legend has it that kitchen apprentice Xaver Loibner created the Imperial Torte on the occasion of the opening of Hotel Imperial in 1873, in honor of Emperor Francis Joseph I, and his creation has been rightly considered the brightest jewel in Vienna's confectionery crown ever since. Young Xaver guarded his recipe like a treasure, and it remains secret to this day. Just as in 1873, the Torte today is an exquisite indulgence: The melt-in-the-mouth chocolate icing, a slightly tart aroma of almonds and the fusion of chocolate buttercream and marzipan make for an utterly perfect composition.

For generations now, the Imperial Torte has been made by hand with passion and attention to detail.
