Artistry in every detail
At Altmann & Kühne, craftsmanship doesn't end with the praline. Since 1928, chocolate, patterns, and packaging have combined to create an unmistakable Viennese world.
Our Chocolates
Some things don't need to change
Since 1928, we have been crafting our Liliput pralines using the exact same recipes and methods: by hand, in Vienna, and in that remarkably miniature size that makes Altmann & Kühne so unique.
What has proven itself over generations needs no reinventing. That is how we continue to create delicate pralines today - defined by their fine flavor, quality, and timeless consistency.
A PIECE OF VIENNESE HISTORY
SAME RECIPES. SAME METHOD. SINCE 1928.
Our Liliput pralines are more than a sweet treat—they are a piece of Viennese confectionery tradition. Carefully handcrafted using unchanged recipes, with a commitment to preserving into the future what has always set them apart.

VIENNESE CRAFTSMANSHIP
When the pralines are gone, the box remains
At Altmann & Kühne, the box has always been an integral part of the gift. Handcrafted, wrapped in our signature patterns, and fashioned in extraordinary shapes, it is far more than a mere container for our pralines - it is a lasting piece of Altmann & Kühne.
01 — HANDCRAFTED
The creation of a box
Our boxes are crafted by hand and wrapped in our signature patterns. Step by step, paper, structure, and artisan precision come together to create a keepsake that is later filled with our pralines with equal care.

02 — OUR BOXES
No two are alike
From miniature furniture and nostalgic trunks to classic hatboxes or traditional Viennese treat boxes - the forms of our packaging could hardly be more diverse. Each one imparts its own distinct character to the pralines, turning a sweet gesture into an extraordinary gift.
03 — THE FINAL TOUCH
Praline by praline
In the end, everything that defines Altmann & Kühne comes together. Our miniature pralines are carefully arranged by hand into their boxes, bringing chocolate, pattern, and form together as one.
04 — TO TREASURE
Some gifts are meant to last
Our boxes were never crafted to disappear once opened. Many are kept, repurposed, and cherished over the years as small companions - for jewelry, keepsakes, and all the things one holds dear.
