Lauenstein Confiserie im Frankenwald, handgefertigte Pralinen

Lauensteiner chocolate art from the Franconian Forest

Since 1964, the historic Fischbachsmühle at the foot of Lauenstein Castle has been producing truffle and praline specialities that represent the highest level of confectionery culture throughout Germany. What began as a one-man manufactory is now a family-owned company in Upper Franconia with its own glass manufactory and the new JAKAO Bean-to-Bar line. As "happy makers" from Hameln, we curate these masterpieces with care and bring the passion for chocolate perfection to the Pied Piper town.

Our Location
  • Handgefertigte Lauensteiner Pralinen-Auslese in offener Schachtel

    Truffle & Praline Selection

    The heart of the Lauenstein Confiserie: handmade truffles and pralines, hand-moulded and decorated. The selection is available in several sizes from 125 g to 400 g, either classically refined or explicitly alcohol-free. A particularly strong variant is the dark chocolate selection for lovers of intense chocolate.

  • JAKAO Bean-to-Bar Tafelschokolade mit Kakaobohnen

    JAKAO Bean-to-Bar

    With JAKAO, Lauenstein produces its own organic chocolate, from bean to bar, in-house. Each bar represents a clearly defined origin: Uganda, Nicaragua, Tanzania, or Peru. Some varieties are plain, others are delicately flavored with lemon, chili, orange, or espresso, many of them vegan.

  • Lauensteiner Geschenk-Edition als Pralinen-Präsent

    Gift Editions

    For personal occasions, there are the lovingly designed editions: the Stars Edition with the twelve zodiac signs, heart-shaped gifts and small presents like the tea chocolate leaves. A charming idea if you're looking for something special to give as a gift.

What does "Bean-to-Bar" actually mean?

Bean-to-Bar means: A manufactory accompanies the chocolate through all steps, from the raw cocoa bean to the finished bar. At JAKAO, selected beans from clearly defined growing regions are hand-sorted, gently roasted, and carefully conched. This way, the character of each origin is preserved instead of being lost in an industrial, uniform chocolate.

What matters in Bean-to-Bar: · Origin: Single-origin cocoa from one growing region · Roasting: gentle, to preserve aromas · Conching: ensures the fine, melt-in-your-mouth texture · Purity: few, high-quality organic ingredients

This is how chocolates and pralines stay aromatic

Handmade chocolates are fresh products. To preserve their taste and shine:

· Store in a dry, cool place away from light, ideally at 14–18 °C · Do not store in the refrigerator, otherwise whitish sugar bloom may occur · Protect from strong heat and direct sunlight · Enjoy fresh truffles quickly, chocolate bars last longer

This is how Lauensteiner specialities develop their full aroma: meltingly tender, refined and just as the manufactory intended them to be.
