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

So Fresh!

Always love the cute tin designs and the lebkuchen are always fresh and tasty. Would love some gluten-free minis but I will savor the regular size ones and try to control myself better ;)

Delicious!

The cookies were wonderfull, and the tin was so lovely that I planned to leave it out as part of the Christmas decorations. When I offered to wrap half the cookies for my guest, his face fell that he wasn’t offered the tin. So in the spirit of Christmas, I offered the tin. The lesson for next year: order more than one tin, and have double the cookies!

So nostalgic

Nuremberg was one of our favorite stops in Germany during the holiday season. Being gluten free, I expected not to be able to enjoy a lot of the traditional holiday goodies, but when we landed on a gf lebkuchen stand, I knew it was kismet. 7 years later, I still think of those treats and have thought of recreating them myself. So, when I saw Leckerlee's website, I knew I had to order. I'm so glad I did. We got a bottle of gluhwein (mulled wine) and had a Lebkuchen, and it was such a special treat that reminded us of our special trip. Almost like being there again! Thank you, Leckerlee, for making that happen, especially for those of us who can't have gluten. I look forward to making it a tradition each year-- maybe when we decorate the tree!
