J.D. Gross Mint Chocolate

J.D. Gross is a premium private label brand specifically created by the German discount supermarket giant Lidl. This particular product, Mint Chocolate, is a thin dark chocolate wafer filled with a refreshing mint crème, often compared to high-end branded alternatives.

The J.D. Gross brand was established to offer luxury-style chocolates at affordable price points. While the name sounds French or English, it is entirely a brand of Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG. Most J.D. Gross products are manufactured in Germany, often by specialized chocolate suppliers like Solent GmbH, which is part of the Schwarz Group’s internal production network.

As a private label, the ultimate ownership resides with the Schwarz Group, one of the largest retail groups globally. The brand is distributed exclusively through Lidl stores across Europe and other international markets, maintaining a consistent focus on Fairtrade certification for its cocoa sourcing.
