About the history of Milka

Milka's roots lie in Switzerland in 1901, when Carl Russ-Suchard, son-in-law of master chocolatier Philippe Suchard, created a new milk chocolate using alpine milk. The name 'Milka' blends the German words for milk (Milch) and cocoa (Kakao), perfectly capturing the product's essence.

Production shifted to Lörrach in Germany in 1901, and it was there that Milka developed the deep association with German-speaking Europe that defines it today. The lilac colour and the gentle alpine cow became one of the most successful brand identities in European confectionery history.

Today owned by Mondelez International, Milka chocolate is instantly recognisable to anyone who has spent time in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Its creamy, relatively mild milk chocolate is particularly beloved, and its wide range of variants—from hazelnut and whole almond to biscuit and caramel—means there is a Milka for every preference.
