The story of Toblerone Biscoff Truffles
The airport chocolate, grounded
Somebody always came home from holiday with a Toblerone, wedged in the hand luggage next to the passports and the suntan lotion. You snapped off a peak, it caught the roof of your mouth, and you went back for another anyway. These truffles carry the Toblerone name, and that name is the whole point. You do not need a boarding pass for this one. You just need to be quicker than whoever else in the house has spotted the box.
Read the full story
A shop in Bern, then a factory
Jean Tobler owned his own confectionery shop in Bern, Switzerland, from 1868, producing chocolate confectionery from products supplied by other manufacturers. People wanted more. Demand for Tobler's chocolate products led to a factory: the Fabrique de Chocolat Berne, Tobler & Cie, founded in 1899 by Emil Baumann and Theodor Tobler in Bern. Not a bad problem for a family business to have. Too many customers, so you build the place yourself.
Two cousins and a mountain
In 1908 Emil Baumann created the recipe, and his cousin Theodor Tobler devised the distinctive triangular shape and packaging. The name joins Tobler's surname to torrone, the Italian word for a type of nougat. The shape is commonly believed to come from the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Toblerone is also considered the world's first patented milk chocolate bar. Somebody had to be first. It was the one shaped like a mountain.
Every departure lounge, apparently
The company stayed independent from 1899 until 1970, then merged with Suchard, then with Jacobs as Jacobs Suchard, before Kraft Foods (renamed Mondelez International) acquired it in 2012. Toblerone has been produced in Switzerland since 1908 and is exported from Bern to 120 countries and to 500 airports, which explains every duty free shop you have ever wandered through. Mondelez has been moving some manufacturing to Slovakia, so some bars lose the Swiss label and the Matterhorn outline. The name on the box is still the one you remember.
