Cadbury is one of the world's most iconic confectionery brands, best known for its Dairy Milk chocolate. Founded in Birmingham, England, in 1824 by John Cadbury, the brand grew from a small shop selling tea and coffee into a global chocolate powerhouse. The Dairy Milk line, introduced in 1905, became famous for its higher milk content compared to rival chocolates of the era, establishing a signature creamy taste that remains the brand's hallmark.

While the brand maintains deep roots in the UK—with its historic Bournville plant still serving as a major production hub—Cadbury products are now manufactured globally to meet international demand. In the 21st century, ownership transitioned through a series of corporate acquisitions. Cadbury merged with Schweppes in 1969 to form Cadbury Schweppes, and was later acquired by the American conglomerate Kraft Foods in 2010. Following a corporate demerger in 2012, Kraft's global snacks business became Mondelez International, which remains the ultimate owner and distributor of Cadbury today.
