Cameo Ciobar Zero hot chocolate mix

Ciobar Zero is a thick and creamy Italian-style hot chocolate mix produced by Cameo. The brand was originally launched in Italy in 1960 to allow consumers to recreate the experience of bar-style hot chocolate at home. The 'Zero' variety is specifically formulated without added sugars, catering to health-conscious consumers while maintaining the signature dense texture of the original product.

Ciobar is manufactured in Italy at the Cameo production facility located in Desenzano del Garda. Although the brand is deeply rooted in Italian culture and uses an Italian-sounding name, Cameo is actually the Italian subsidiary of the German multinational Dr. Oetker. The name was changed from Oetker to 'Cammeo' (and later 'Cameo') in the 1950s because the original German name was difficult for Italian consumers to pronounce. Today, the brand remains under the ownership of the Dr. Oetker group, which is headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany.
