Switzerland is famous for its fine chocolate, especially milk chocolate—a by-product of the nation’s dairy farming industry.
Toblerone is a chocolate bar made by Kraft Foods Switzerland. It is best known for its triangular chunks (representing the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps),its distinctive packaging, its prism shape and its ubiquity in airport duty-free shops.
Toblerone was created by Theodor Tobler and Emil Baumann in Bern, Switzerland in 1908. They developed a unique milk chocolate including nougat, almonds and honey with a distinctive triangular shape. The product’s name is a portmanteau combining Tobler’s name with the Italian word torrone (a type of nougat). The image of a bear is hidden in the Matterhorn mountain symbolizing the town of its origin.
