Côte d'Or chocolate

Côte d'Or is one of the most iconic Belgian chocolate brands, founded in 1883 by Charles Neuhaus. The brand name was inspired by the 'Gold Coast' (now Ghana), which was a primary source of high-quality cocoa beans for the confectioner. Over the decades, it became a symbol of Belgian chocolate craft, best known for its elephant logo and dense, rich chocolate bars.

While its heart remains Belgian, the brand's ownership has transitioned through several major corporate hands, starting with its acquisition by Suchard-Tobler in 1987, which later became part of Kraft Foods. Today, Côte d'Or is part of the global snacking giant Mondelez International. While the main production facility is still located in Halle, Belgium, Mondelez has integrated the brand into its global supply chain, meaning some variants may be produced in other European facilities, such as those in Poland.
