Are your gluten-free lebkuchen certified gluten-free?

No, we produce them in the same facility and on shared equipment with our regular lebkuchen which contains wheat.

However, we take gluten-free production seriously and follow a protocol to minimize the possibility of cross-contamination. This includes baking gluten-free lebkuchen on dedicated production days (i.e., never on the same day with regular lebkuchen); cleaning and sanitizing all equipment and wares prior to use; and testing samples from the day to check that they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.

Why isn't the gluten-free lebkuchen always available?

As mentioned above, we produce gluten-free lebkuchen on dedicated production days. As the demand is still relatively low, it only makes sense for us to offer it when we have a sufficient number of pre-orders to justify allocating a full production day.

Can I choose a deferred ship date for gluten-free lebkuchen?

We advise against selecting a deferred ship date for gluten-free lebkuchen, as we always prefer to get our product to customers as soon as it's baked. However, it does have a shelf life of several months, so it will be fine to eat. But it does lose some moisture over time. As long as this is understood, you can choose a deferred ship date -- please just confirm your understanding in the Order Notes at checkout.

Can you freeze the lebkuchen?

In our experience,Oblaten Lebkuchensuch as Nuremberg lebkuchen freeze well. For best results, carefully wrap each lebkuchen individually in plastic food wrap and place in an airtight container in the freezer.

If possible, thaw lebkuchen in the refrigerator before bringing to room temperature. Defrosting the lebkuchen slowly helps preserve the texture. For chocolate-covered lebkuchen in particular, this phased defrosting also prevents drastic changes in temperature that may affect the chocolate’s appearance and texture

Delectable

My hubby is gluten free and was very sad about missing out on holiday treats. I was so excited to find the gluten free lebkuchen for him. He polished off the first tin, and I already ordered 2 more boxes. You can smell the lovely ginger and citrus emanating from the tin. Super yummy!!

Best Gift Ever for my Gluten Free Best Friend

My best friend is gluten free and is very conscientious about avoiding gluten, because she has to be! It is wonderful to find a gluten free product that tastes good and has the right texture. She loves your Gluten Free Lebkuchen, and the beautiful tin made it an even better gift. After she enjoys the cookies, she will use the tin to store her art supplies.

GF lebkuchen

After many years of being gluten free, my daughter gleefully enjoyed the true lebkuchen (GF) made by Leckerlee. The regular ones you bake take me back to Christmases in Germany! The best.
