Basel: Tour of Jakob’s Basler Leckerly Bakery｜Switzerland

Explore the exciting world of Switzerland’s oldest biscuit manufactory and gain an insight into the 270-year history of Jakob’s Basler Leckerly and the story behind the Basler Läckerli. The guided tour lasts about 60 minutes and includes a trip back in time tracing the evolution of the Basler Läckerli, a tour of the manufactory and a chance to sample Läckerli recipes from three centuries.

Jakob’s Basler Leckerly – with the legal name «Karl Jakob Nachf. von JJ Steiger sel. Erben AG» – is today the oldest independent company in Basel. The basis of the unique reputation and great appreciation of the Basel family business lies in the tireless pursuit of perfection. This basic attitude is manifested in four basic pillars that have always embodied the way the manufactory thinks and works.
