Matilde Original chocolate milk

Matilde is an iconic Danish brand of chocolate milk, first launched in 1970 by the Esbjerg Dairy. It quickly became the market leader in Denmark, recognized by the stylized girl's face with a red bow on the packaging. Over the decades, it has remained a staple in Danish households, often served for birthdays and social gatherings.

Today, the brand is owned by Arla Foods, a major European dairy cooperative. The product is primarily manufactured at the Arla dairy in Esbjerg, ensuring its local heritage and high quality standards. As a cooperative, Arla is owned by thousands of dairy farmers across several European countries, though its headquarters and the heart of the Matilde brand remain firmly in Denmark.
