Calaf Ricolate chocolate-covered coconut bar

Ricolate is a popular confectionery product from the Calaf brand, which is deeply rooted in Chilean candy history. Originally founded in 1897 by the Calaf family, the brand became a household name for sweets and chocolates in the Southern Cone region.

In 2004, the Calaf brand was acquired through a strategic partnership between CCU and Indalo, and later became a key part of the 'Foods' division of the Chilean conglomerate CCU (Compañía de las Cervecerías Unidas). CCU itself is a diversified beverage and food company with massive operations across South America. Today, the brand is managed under the CCU umbrella, with products like Ricolate being primarily manufactured and distributed within Chile to meet the demands of the local and regional markets.
