Franz Sacher invented the Sachertorte in 1832, aged 16, while filling in as the apprentice pastry chef in Prince Metternich's kitchen. The recipe was perfected by his son Eduard at Demel before the family opened Hotel Sacher in 1876. A long legal dispute between Hotel Sacher and Demel was settled in 1963: Hotel Sacher won the right to the 'Original Sachertorte' name and the round seal; Demel uses a triangular 'Eduard-Sacher-Torte' seal to this day. Both versions are still made by hand at the respective addresses.
