Freia Melkesjokolade Walters Mandler

Freia Melkesjokolade Walters Mandler is one of Norway's most iconic chocolate bars, created by Freia. Named after chocolate factory worker Walter, this variant combines classic Norwegian milk chocolate with roasted, caramelized, and salted almonds.

Freia was founded in Oslo, Norway, in 1889 by Olaf Larsen and acquired by Johan Throne Holst in 1892. While Freia chocolate bars are still proudly produced locally at the historic Rodeløkka factory in Oslo using Norwegian milk, the ownership has evolved significantly over the decades.

In 1993, Freia was acquired by Kraft General Foods (later Kraft Foods), which spun off its global snack food operations into Mondelēz International in 2012. Today, Freia operates as a brand under Mondelēz Norge AS, ultimately owned by the American multinational confectionery conglomerate Mondelēz International, Inc., headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
