About Napolitanke

Napolitanke, a classic European wafer cookie, originated in Croatia and is a beloved treat across Central and Eastern Europe. Known for its light, crispy layers filled with various flavors like hazelnut, chocolate, or vanilla, it is a popular choice for snacks or desserts. From a nutritional standpoint, Napolitanke is high in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy.

Napolitanke is a highly processed food, best consumed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
