About the history of Caotina

Caotina was born in the cold winter of 1963, when the Swiss company Wander—also producers of Ovomaltine—introduced a chocolate drink powder made from genuine Swiss chocolate. From the start, the product set itself apart with a noticeably richer chocolate flavour derived from alpine dairy traditions.

Manufactured in Neuenegg in the canton of Bern, Caotina remains an iconic Swiss product with a loyal following far beyond Switzerland's borders. Its appeal lies in simplicity: high-quality Swiss chocolate in an easy-to-prepare format.

In British households familiar with the Swiss food tradition, Caotina offers a welcome alternative to generic cocoa mixes. It works equally well stirred into hot milk on a winter evening or used as a baking ingredient for a deeper chocolate flavour.
