Oro Ciok chocolate-topped biscuit

Oro Ciok is a prominent snack brand within the Oro Saiwa family, a name deeply rooted in Italian culinary tradition. The brand originated in Genoa, Italy, in 1900 under the name SAIWA (Società Accomandita Industria Wafer Affini), founded by Pietro Marchese. The specific 'Oro' biscuit line was launched in 1956 and has since become a staple of Italian breakfasts and snacks.

Today, the product is primarily manufactured at the historic Saiwa production facility located in Capriata d'Orba, Alessandria, Italy. This plant is a key hub for the brand's production, utilizing 100% Italian wheat as part of its commitment to local quality.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the decades, including Nabisco and Kraft Foods. As of 2026, the brand is owned by the American multinational snack food giant Mondelēz International. Locally, it is managed by the subsidiary Mondelēz Italia S.r.l., which maintains the brand's heritage while operating within a global snack portfolio.
