J.D. Gross Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate 70%

J.D. Gross is a premium chocolate private label owned by the German global discount supermarket chain Lidl. The brand is positioned as a high-quality, artisanal-style chocolate, focusing on sustainable sourcing, as evidenced by the Fairtrade certification seen on the packaging.

Most J.D. Gross products are manufactured in Germany, often produced by specialist chocolate manufacturers like Rausch (based in Berlin) or within Lidl's own manufacturing network under the Schwarz Group umbrella. The brand is exclusively available at Lidl stores worldwide, providing a gourmet confectionery option at competitive prices.

The global ownership lies with the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retail groups, which manages both Lidl and Kaufland operations. The group maintains strict quality control over the production of these chocolates to ensure consistent flavor profiles for their international consumer base.
