Wine Wafer Set // Red, White & Sparkling

Sweeten up your life with the Original California Wine Wafer Set. This fantastic dessert is made in three flavors to accompany a glass of fine wine. Lemon Vanilla Almond tends to be served with a nice dry white. Mocha Chocolate Hazelnut is best with robust red, and Raspberry Roasted Almond tastes great with dry Sparkling.

At first, take a large bite and chew. The wafer tends to absorb moisture from your mouth, so right before you're ready to swallow, take a small sip of wine to experience a small explosion of flavors you've never tasted before. These wafers are ready to enjoy right out of the box with your favorite glass of fine wine, but also make an elegant accompaniment to coffee, tea, sorbet, and ice cream. Try serving with raspberries and Mascarpone cheese or create a decadent layered treat with lightly sweetened cream and fruit of your choice.

Since 1640 these gourmet wafers, traditionally called oplatky, have been hand made in the Czech Republic resort destination of Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad. Fashionable among Europe’s elite, oplatky were eagerly consumed by the rich and famous. As these luxury wafers grew in fame so too did imitations, inspiring variations like Oblaten in Germany and Carlsbad Wafers in England.

Today there are only a handful bakers who still use the traditional recipes and techniques Sacramento Cookie Company adheres to in creating this scrumptious treat. Using a recipe passed down through generations, each crisp, light wafer is lovingly hand made then baked, aged twelve days, carefully filled with all natural filling, and baked again. This process is tedious and time consuming, but take one bite of the delicious wafer and you are sure to agree it is worth the effort.
