Loacker Adds New Flavor to its Lineup for All the Peanut Butter Lovers Out There

The global wafer and confections leader rolls out NEW Peanut Butter nationally across several of its products

NEW YORK, March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Loacker, an Italian family company known for the world's number one wafer brand, has expanded its Quadratini, Classic Wafers, Tortina and Gardena product lines to include Peanut Butter as the newest, indulgent flavor option now available to consumers.

It's no secret that peanut butter is loved and consumed by many. In fact, according to the National Peanut Board, Americans eat about three pounds of peanut butter per person each year on average, which equates to roughly 700 million pounds. To put it in perspective, each year Americans eat enough peanut butter to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon.

Loacker decided it was time to add this favorite American snack to its own product line.

"Our U.S. customers love peanut butter, so we are delivering a peanut butter punch in the best form - a delicious wafer made with 74 percent peanut butter cream," said TJ Rooney, President of Loacker USA. "For nearly 100 years, our customers have come to expect delicious crispy wafers and chocolates made with pure quality ingredients, so it was critical that our team met those expectations by providing them with a premium peanut butter experience."

Non-GMO verified and made with 74 percent peanut butter cream, 100 percent alpine milk, only five grams of sugar and no added flavorings or colors, the velvety pure peanut butter cream filling is a natural complement to the flavors found in Loacker's delicious wafers, patisseries and chocolates.
