Thorntons Classic Milk Chocolate Egg

Thorntons is a heritage British chocolate brand, originally established in 1911 in Sheffield, England. Known for its 'Deliciously British Flavours,' the brand gained fame for its continental chocolates, toffee, and seasonal gifts like this Classic Easter egg, which includes a selection of eight assorted chocolates.

While the brand maintains its British identity and historical manufacturing base in Alfreton, Derbyshire, its ownership has transitioned from a family-run business to a global entity. In 2015, the Ferrero Group acquired Thorntons, integrating it into one of the world's largest confectionery portfolios. Since then, the brand has shifted its focus from high-street retail stores to supermarket distribution and online sales, while remaining headquartered in the UK under Italian ultimate ownership.
