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
