Milka Milkinis chocolate

Milka is one of the world's most recognizable chocolate brands, famous for its lilac packaging and Alpine cow mascot. The brand's history dates back to 1901 in Switzerland, founded by Philippe Suchard. It quickly became known for its use of 100% Alpine milk, a hallmark that continues to be a central part of its product identity today.

While the brand has Swiss origins, its manufacturing is now distributed across multiple European locations to serve global markets. Significant production facilities are located in Germany (Lörrach), Austria (Bludenz), and Poland, among others. The sourcing of cocoa is managed through the 'Cocoa Life' sustainability program, which is highlighted on the packaging.

Today, Milka is a flagship brand under the ownership of Mondelēz International, an American multinational confectionery, food, and beverage conglomerate. Mondelēz manages the brand’s global distribution and marketing, ensuring its presence as a market leader in the European chocolate segment, particularly in the Czech Republic and neighboring Central European countries.
