Frigyes Stühmer, a master pâtissier originally from Hamburg, was invited to Hungary by a chocolatier from Pest. An extraordinarily skilled craftsman with a keen eye for detail, Stühmer launched a range of quality chocolates from his small patisserie in 1868, and he soon became the pre-eminent chocolate maker in Hungary. With steadily improving living standards, he recognized that chocolate and confectionery have a bright future ahead of them. As such, he played a major role in popularising chocolate – considered a luxury product at the time – and bringing it to a wider audience. Eventually, the traditional brand was brought back to life in 2006 by Mr. Péter Csóll, who purchased the existing Stühmer shop in Eger and acquired the trademark.

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that, unlike the Gerbeaud candy where they use only walnuts for the marzipan, here they replace half of the walnuts with almonds. This results in a softer, less intense flavor profile that harmonizes beautifully with the milk chocolate coating.
