Quadratini (Italian for 'little squares') are yummy, bite-sized wafer biscuits from Italy! Their name means 'little squares' in Italian, which perfectly describes their shape. These tasty treats have many thin layers of wafer with creamy fillings in between. They are made by a company called Loacker. Loacker started way back in 1925 in a beautiful part of Italy called South Tyrol.
The Story of Loacker and Quadratini
The Loacker company was started by Alfons Loacker in 1925. It began as a small bakery in Italy. The Quadratini biscuits, which are now very popular, were first introduced in 1994. Loacker's main office is still in South Tyrol, Italy. They also have a factory in Heinfels, Austria, where many of these delicious wafers are made.
One special thing about Quadratini is that they are made with all-natural ingredients. Loacker is proud to say that their wafer cookies do not have any artificial additives. This means they are made without fake flavors, colors, or preservatives.

How Quadratini Are Packaged
Loacker sells Quadratini in a special bag that you can close again after opening. This helps keep the biscuits fresh and crispy. Each bag usually has nine servings, and each serving has eight small wafer biscuits.
Each Quadratini biscuit is about 1 centimeter tall and 2 centimeters wide and long. They have five layers of crispy wafer and four layers of yummy cream filling. In some places, like the U.S., you might find Quadratini in natural food stores. This is because they are known for not having any artificial flavors, artificial colorings, or preservatives. They also have 0 grams of trans fat.
