Côte d'Or L'Original Lait chocolate bar

Côte d'Or is a premium chocolate brand that traces its prestigious heritage back to 1883. It was founded by Charles Neuhaus in Belgium, taking its name from the 'Gold Coast' (now Ghana), which was the source of its high-quality cocoa beans. The brand is instantly recognizable by its iconic elephant logo, which symbolizes the strength and exotic origin of its ingredients.

While Côte d'Or began as a Belgian craft brand, its success led to it becoming part of larger corporate structures. Today, the brand is owned by Mondelez International, the American multinational confectionery giant. Despite the global ownership, Côte d'Or maintains its reputation for rich, intense flavors. Production takes place in various locations across Europe, primarily in Belgium and Poland, to supply its vast international market.
