Collection: Goufrais Cocoa Confectionery – the cool treat from the Black Forest

The story of Goufrais begins in 1993 in Weil am Rhein, a place where three countries meet: Germany, France, and Switzerland. In the "Dreiländereck" (three-country corner) on the southern edge of the Black Forest, directly opposite Alsace, Günter Keller and his son Michael had an unusual idea. What if the shape of the typical Alsatian Gugelhupf, a traditional yeast cake baked in a ring-shaped mold, was translated into a praline? As a homage to the Alsatian neighborhood, executed with German confectionery precision.

The result was Goufrais: a mini-Gugelhupf made from melt-in-your-mouth cocoa confection, coated in 100% pure cocoa powder. Not a chocolate coating, but pure cocoa intensity. What started as an experimental idea became the sole product of an entire brand. For over 30 years, the family business CMF-Produkte Keller has pursued an extraordinary philosophy: a single product, in absolute qualitative and taste perfection. No variety of flavors, no seasonal novelties, just Goufrais.

Today, the cocoa confection is produced under the direction of Michael Keller in Weil am Rhein, in a small, specialized manufactory. At Dreyer Confiserie, we carry Goufrais with the appreciation due to a brand that has remained true to the principle of "less is more" for three decades.
