Buy Sisi Violets in Vienna | Candied flowers in the 1st District

Once the favorite sweet of Empress Sisi, now the perfect Vienna souvenir: At our shop, you can get candied violets conveniently packaged in a bag.

Candied violet blossoms are among the most extraordinary specialties of Vienna. Known as Sisi Violets, they date back to a famous preference of Empress Elisabeth. For anyone looking for a light, durable, and stylish souvenir, this offers a sophisticated alternative to classic chocolate.

What makes Sisi Violets special?

Their production is based on an old artisanal tradition: fresh violet blossoms are coated in liquid sugar syrup and slowly dried. This creates a fine, crispy layer that preserves the natural aroma and violet color of the blossom.

  • The taste: Crunchy in bite, sweet, and with a subtle floral violet note.
  • Serving tip: Taste great on their own with coffee, perfect as a decoration for desserts, or unfold their aroma in a glass of chilled sparkling wine.

Why Sisi Violets are the perfect Vienna souvenir

  • Travel-friendly: Unlike chocolate, candied flowers do not melt in your luggage even on hot summer days.
  • Handily packaged: At Vienna Sweets & Gifts, you receive this specialty in tastefully designed Sisi bags – compact for your suitcase or carry-on.
