Bündner Nusstorte

Bündner Nusstorte is a tart made from shortbread pastry that ranges from popular dinners to one of the most delectable deserts in Swiss cuisine. The pastry, which originated in the Swiss German canton of Graubünden, is filled with caramel and a variety of nuts.

The recipe for the popular Swiss dish dates back to the year 1900. However, it is possible that Bündner Nusstorte did not achieve national prominence until 1934. Fausto Pult, a local baker, brought his creation to the Swiss Sample Fair and wowed the crowd.

Walnuts are the most common nut used to complement the caramel, but other nuts can be used as well. When traveling throughout Switzerland, you can expect to find Bündner Nusstorte by the slice, with hot tea or coffee on the side. Many visitors are pleasantly surprised by its distinct flavor and report having a pleasant experience with it.
