Milka Ganze Haselnüsse chocolate bar

Milka is one of the world's most recognizable chocolate brands, originally established in Switzerland in 1901 by Philippe Suchard. The brand is famous for its distinctive lilac packaging and the 'Milka Cow' mascot. While it began as a Swiss chocolate pioneer, the production has expanded significantly over the decades.

Today, Milka products are manufactured in several European locations, with major production facilities in Lörrach, Germany, as well as sites in Austria, Poland, and Bulgaria, depending on the specific product line. Ownership has transitioned from the original Suchard company through various mergers including Jacobs Suchard and Kraft Foods. Since 2012, Milka has been a core brand under Mondelēz International, an American multinational confectionery, food, and beverage conglomerate headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
