Costa is a renowned confectionery brand with a long history in Latin America, particularly famous for its chocolates and biscuits. The brand was originally founded in Chile in 1907 by Federico Costa, establishing itself as a pioneer in the Chilean food industry. For decades, it grew as an independent power house in the region, known for high-quality cocoa products like the 'Bitter' dark chocolate line shown in the image.

In modern times, the brand underwent a significant ownership change. It was acquired by Empresas Carozzi, a Chilean multinational conglomerate that specializes in the food industry. Carozzi is one of the largest food companies in the South Cone of Latin America and manages various iconic brands across pasta, chocolate, and snacks. Today, while the brand maintains its Chilean heritage, its manufacturing operates through Carozzi's extensive network of factories across Chile and Peru, allowing it to distribute products throughout the continent and beyond.
