Galle & Jessen Milk Chocolate Slices

Galle & Jessen is an iconic Danish confectionery brand, best known for its invention of 'pålægschokolade' (chocolate slices for bread) in 1933. Founded in 1872 by Edvard Galle and Hans Jessen in Copenhagen, the brand has been a staple of Danish breakfast tables for generations.

The production primarily takes place in Denmark, maintaining the brand's local heritage. Today, the brand is owned by the Danish confectionery giant Toms Gruppen, which acquired the company in 1971. Toms Gruppen remains a privately held Danish company, ensuring that this classic product remains under Danish ownership and management.
