Caffarel fine chocolates

Caffarel is a prestigious Italian chocolate brand founded in 1826 in Turin. It is widely credited with the invention of Gianduiotto, the famous Piedmontese hazelnut chocolate. The company maintains a strong tradition of high-quality confectionery, blending cocoa with the Tonda Gentile hazelnut.

Historically an independent family business, Caffarel was acquired in 1997 by the Swiss chocolate giant Lindt & Sprüngli. This acquisition allowed the brand to expand its distribution internationally while keeping its production hub in Luserna San Giovanni, Italy. Today, it operates as a premium subsidiary within the Lindt & Sprüngli portfolio, representing the excellence of the Piedmontese chocolate tradition under Swiss corporate ownership.
