Lindt Excellence A Touch of Sea Salt Dark Chocolate

Lindt Excellence is a premium line of chocolate bars produced by the renowned Swiss chocolatier Lindt & Sprüngli. The brand has a rich history dating back to 19th-century Switzerland, founded through the merger of David Sprüngli-Schwarz's confectionery business in Zurich and Rodolphe Lindt's chocolate factory in Bern. Rodolphe Lindt is famously credited with inventing the 'conching' process, which gave chocolate its smooth, melting texture.

Today, Lindt is a global leader in the premium chocolate market. While synonymous with Swiss craftsmanship, their manufacturing operations are international. Depending on the specific market of sale, the chocolate is manufactured in one of their state-of-the-art facilities located primarily in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, or the United States.

Ownership remains independent under Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG. The company is publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange and is headquartered in Kilchberg, Switzerland. It operates as an umbrella for several major confectionery brands including Ghirardelli, Russell Stover, and Caffarel, maintaining its status as a powerhouse in the global chocolate industry into 2026 and beyond.
