Milka is a traditional brand of chocolate confection which originated in Switzerland in 1825[1] and has been manufactured internationally by the US confectionery company Mondelēz International (formerly known as Kraft Foods) since 1990.[2][3] For more than 100 years Milka has been primarily produced in Lörrach, Germany, producing about 140,000 tonnes of chocolate in 2012.[4] It is sold in bars and a number of holiday shapes during Easter and Christmas.[5] Milka also manufactures chocolate-covered cookies and biscuits.[6]

History

On November 17, 1825, Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard (1797–1884) established a pâtisserie in Neuchâtel where he sold a hand-made dessert, chocolat fin de sa fabrique.[7] The following year Suchard expanded his company and moved production to nearby Serrières, where he produced 25–30 kg of chocolate daily in a rented former water mill. During the 1890s, milk was added to Suchard's chocolate.[8] According to Croatian sources, the product name is Suchard's tribute to soprano Milka Ternina (1863–1941).[9]

In 1970, Suchard merged with Tobler to become Interfood.[10] Interfood merged with the Jacobs coffee company in 1982, becoming Jacobs Suchard.[11] Kraft Foods acquired Jacobs Suchard, including Milka, in 1990.[2][3] In October 2012, Kraft became Mondelēz International.[12]
