Lindt Gold Bunny (GOLDHASE)

The Lindt Gold Bunny, or GOLDHASE, is one of the most iconic seasonal chocolate products in the world. Originally created in 1952 by a Lindt Master Chocolatier in Switzerland, the product was inspired by a real bunny and has since become a global symbol of the Easter season. The bunny is characterized by its signature gold foil wrapping, a red ribbon, and a small golden bell.

While the brand has its roots in Switzerland, the production of these bunnies for the European market often takes place in Aachen, Germany, where Lindt operates one of its largest manufacturing facilities. The brand is owned by Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, a premium Swiss chocolatier that maintains high standards of quality by controlling the entire production process from bean to bar. The Gold Bunny has even been the subject of rigorous legal battles to protect its specific shape and gold color, solidifying its status as a protected trademark.
