Linzer Torte
Austrian spiced hazelnut pastry filled with redcurrant jam and finished with a lattice top.
About Linzer Torte
Linzer Torte is the lattice-topped Austrian pastry associated with Linz. This profile follows Austria Tourism's hazelnut and lemon-zest branches, holding the source's almond, lemon-juice and optional wafer or flaked-almond alternatives outside this single version.
Ground hazelnuts give the buttery pastry a deep roasted flavour, warmed by cinnamon, clove and lemon zest. Tart redcurrant jam cuts through the rich, sweet crust with a bright fruit acidity.
The torte is a low, round pastry with a burnished lattice revealing dark ruby-red jam beneath. Its crust is firm yet crumbly and nut-rich, while the filling remains soft, sticky and sharply fruity.
