Hans Freitag’s Desiree Assortment of Wafers
We normally don’t care too much for cookies off the store shelves. We felt that they are simply loaded with too much sugar and trans fat. So we normally skip the cookies aisle during grocery shopping.
A friend at work introduced the Desiree Wafers from Hans Freitag last week to me. It was surprisingly very different from other wafers that I’ve tried. They were lights, crunchy and not too sweet. Both Arkensen and Nanzaro loves it.
We found the Desiree at the Big Crazy grocery store along No 3 in Richmond. Each bag of 400g costs $2.99.
Hans Freitag opened a small wafer factory in Germany just one year after the end of WWII, They specialize only in making cookies and wafers. Today the company is still family owned and their product range has now grown up to 50 types of cookies and wafers.
In the Desiree bag, there are about six different types of wafers. Some of them were chocolate coated while some were filled with chocolates. Others were simply vanilla creams.

Them wafers look tasty!:)
We would like to know how to order. We picked up the vanille milch at Epcot and loved them but know of no other place to buy them.
Hi David:
Where do you live? Hans Freitag is quite common in Vancouver, BC. I think you can order from them directly from their website at http://www.hans-freitag.de/iframe.htm

I have been enjoying your Deiree for a short time- my favourite biscuit. I decided to look at the ingredients today and found to my horror that you still make them with Hydrogenated fat. This fat causes furred arteries, blocking them and causing strokes and heart attacks. As I have a cholesterol problem and have been warned about the dangers of hydrogenated fat I’ve just thrown the last of my packet out to the birds.
PLEASe could you get rid of the Hydrogenated fat it has been more or less banned in Britain because of the health dangers. If it cost more to replace this fat with sometjhing more expensive I think most people would be happy because the are such a delicious biscuit.
best wishes
