FAQ
What is Lebkuchen Schmidt?
Lebkuchen Schmidt is a German bakery founded in Nuremberg that has produced traditional lebkuchen — a spiced, honey-and-nut based German gingerbread — since 1927.
Is Lebkuchen Schmidt the same as regular gingerbread?
Not exactly. Traditional Nuremberg lebkuchen uses ground almonds and honey as its base rather than flour, giving it a denser, cakier texture than Western-style gingerbread cookies.
Where can I buy authentic Lebkuchen Schmidt online in the US?
European Deli is a licensed US importer of Lebkuchen Schmidt, offering parcels, singles, gift chests, cookies, and collectible tins shipped directly to US customers.
What's the difference between Lebkuchen Schmidt tins, chests, and parcels?
Tins and music boxes are individual collectible containers; chests are larger presentation pieces designed as standalone gifts; parcels are pre-built assortments combining multiple lebkuchen styles in one box.
Does Lebkuchen Schmidt ship well, and does it stay fresh?
Lebkuchen is a dense, low-moisture baked good, which means it travels and keeps well compared to many other baked gifts — one reason it has remained a popular shipped gift for generations. European Deli imports Lebkuchen Schmidt fresh from Germany and with our 2-day delivery you can be eating fresh lebkuchen at home!
