J.D. Gross Chocolate

J.D. Gross is a premium private label brand owned by the German retailer Lidl. While the brand is designed to mimic high-end Belgian and Swiss chocolatiers, it is primarily manufactured in Germany, often by large suppliers like Solent GmbH & Co. KG.

The brand was created to offer gourmet chocolate products at competitive supermarket prices. As a private label, its production is closely tied to Lidl's internal supply chain, ensuring high quality standards that focus on Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa. The ultimate ownership lies with the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retail corporations.
