Côte d'Or chocolate

Côte d'Or is a renowned Belgian chocolate brand established in 1883 by Charles Neuhaus in Schaerbeek, Belgium. The name 'Côte d'Or' translates to 'Gold Coast,' referencing the former name of Ghana, a significant source of cocoa beans. In 1889, Neuhaus sold the company to the Bieswal-Leclef family, who later merged with the Michiels chocolate company in 1906 to form Alimenta S.A. The brand underwent several ownership changes, including acquisition by Jacobs Suchard in 1987, which was subsequently acquired by Kraft General Foods in 1990. In 2012, Kraft's confectionery brands, including Côte d'Or, were spun off into Mondelez International. Despite these changes, Côte d'Or maintains its Belgian heritage, with production facilities in Belgium and Poland. The brand is recognized for its high-quality chocolates and iconic elephant logo, symbolizing strength and quality. Today, Côte d'Or continues to be a significant player in the global chocolate market, offering a wide range of products that uphold its rich legacy.
