Salzburger Mozartkugeln

This is the probably most popular culinary souvenir for those who wish to bring back home a taste of Austria.

A box of Salzburger Mozartkugeln by Mirabell combines the best Austria has to offer: history, music and tradition.

Long after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had died Salzburg's master confectioner Paul Fürst started to produce little Marzipan balls, rolled them in a walnut-nougat crème, and put them on little sticks. He then dunked them into warm chocolate until they became evenly round. The original Mozartkugel was born.

The original Fürst bakery is still producing by hand the delicious Mozartkugeln. Their authentic chocolate balls are sold at Alter Markt, Mirabellplatz Ritzerbogen and Getreidegasse.

The Mozartkugel, initially called "Mozartbonbon" was invented by Paul Fürst in 1890 and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nowadays you have several companies making Mozartkugeln – the original ones are only available in shops of the Fürst bakery and online.
