Milka Haselnusscreme

Milka is an iconic chocolate brand with a heritage dating back to 1901 in Switzerland, founded by Philippe Suchard. Known globally for its distinctive lilac packaging and the Simmental cow mascot, the brand has evolved from traditional alpine milk chocolate bars to a wide variety of confectionery products, including the hazelnut spread shown here. The spread is a competitive alternative to other nut creams and is distinctively made with sunflower or rapeseed oil rather than palm oil in many markets.

While the brand has Swiss and German roots, it is now part of a global snacking portfolio. Manufacturing for Milka products happens across various European locations, including large facilities in Germany, Austria, and Poland to serve different regional markets. The ownership has changed significantly over the decades, transitioning from the original Suchard company to Kraft Foods, and finally to its current parent company, which manages it as one of its most valuable global chocolate brands.
