Toblerone

From Food & Medicine Encyclopedia

Toblerone is a Swiss chocolate bar brand owned by Mondelez International, formerly Kraft Foods, which acquired the product from former owner Jacobs Suchard in 1990. It is well-known for its distinctive prism shape (triangular prism or pentahedron), which was created by Theodor Tobler in 1908.

History[edit]

Theodor Tobler, together with his cousin Emil Baumann, 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 triangular shape of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps is commonly believed to have given Theodor Tobler his inspiration for the shape of Toblerone.

Production[edit]

Toblerone is made from a mixture of milk chocolate, sugar, milk powder, cocoa butter, honey, almonds, and cocoa mass. The honey used in Toblerone comes from the Mexican honey bee and the milk is Swiss. The chocolate is produced in the Bern, Switzerland, and Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK.

Varieties[edit]

Toblerone is currently available in different sizes and varieties, including Toblerone Milk, Toblerone Dark, Toblerone White, Toblerone Crunchy Almonds, Toblerone Honeycomb crisp, and Toblerone Tobelle.

In popular culture[edit]

Toblerone has been featured in various forms of media and pop culture. It is often associated with airport duty-free shops, where it is a popular purchase for travelers. The product has also been referenced in television shows and films.
