• Authenticity test: the real Fürst ball is hand-dipped, wrapped in SILVER-BLUE foil, and sold only in Salzburg — the red-gold 'Mirabell' ones in every supermarket (~€0.40/piece) are industrial imitations made after Fürst never patented his 1890 invention
• Pistachio-marzipan core dipped twice in chocolate, still made on a wooden stick that leaves the tell-tale hole
• Shelf life ~8 weeks, no refrigeration needed — travels perfectly
• Box alone is under the €75.01 tax-free minimum
