J.D. Gross 95% Dark Chocolate

J.D. Gross is a premium chocolate brand exclusively developed for the German discount retailer Lidl. Despite its French-sounding name, the brand has its roots in Germany, designed to offer high-quality cocoa products at competitive price points. This specific dark chocolate bar, containing 95% cocoa, is part of their specialty selection which often emphasizes ethical sourcing through certifications like Fairtrade.

The manufacturing of J.D. Gross products is primarily handled by large-scale German confectionery specialists that produce private-label goods for Lidl. Ownership lies entirely with the Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, which manages the brand globally. The brand is a staple in Lidl supermarkets across Europe, including Spain and Portugal as seen by the multilingual labeling on the packaging.
