Kinder, Italian chocolate

Taste of the Italian snack, born by Ferrero to make every snack for adults and children special.

Sweets, chocolate and snacks since 1968

Kinder Chocolate was the first product through which the brand came to life in 1968, within the great Ferrero family. Born from the idea of offering a sweet treat designed specifically for children, made with simple ingredients and a carefully measured portion, it immediately represented an innovative and thoughtful way to approach the world of childhood—with a proposal that was sweet yet balanced.

From that first iconic product, the brand has evolved and won the hearts of both Italian and international families. The brand has grown while staying true to its mission: to bring small moments of daily joy through delicious, safe sweets that are designed with meticulous attention to detail. Ferrero’s approach has always stood out for its careful selection of raw materials, consistent quality, and continuous focus on consumer well-being.

Over the years, the range has expanded considerably, including products that have become true icons. Among these are Kinder Bueno, with its irresistible combination of crispy wafer and hazelnut cream, Kinder Joy, which combines taste and play in a unique format, and soft, fresh treats like Brioss snack cakes. Each product is designed to suit different moments of the day: from breakfast to school breaks, after meals to evening indulgences.

One of the aspects that makes the brand unique is its ability to combine tradition and innovation. The connection with its Italian roots is clearly reflected in the company’s philosophy: carefully selected ingredients, precise craftsmanship, and an identity that celebrates the pleasure of simplicity. This is how the trust of millions of consumers is built—through products that appeal to both adults and children, while never compromising on quality.

Among the most representative ingredients in these products is milk, a fundamental element to ensure creaminess, balance, and nutritional value. This ingredient is not only a technical component but also a symbolic one: it represents the delicacy and care with which the brand looks after its youngest consumers.

The brand’s commitment is also reflected in its continuous pursuit of balance between taste and nutritional value. Portions are designed to be suitable for children, offering a delicious treat without excess. Moreover, the individual packaging of many products ensures freshness and convenience—ideal for everyday life.

A little-known curiosity, yet revealing of the Ferrero philosophy, concerns founder Michele Ferrero’s direct and almost “undercover” approach to quality control and consumer relations. As recounted by long-time collaborator William Salice, Ferrero personally visited supermarkets every week, unannounced, to observe how customers chose his products. A simple yet meaningful gesture that shows his meticulous attention to every stage of the process—from the store shelf to brand perception.

Equally important is the playful aspect the brand has managed to integrate into many of its products. A clear example is the egg, a symbol of surprise and anticipation for entire generations. This product has transformed a simple sweet into an emotional experience, capable of bringing families and children together in moments of sharing and wonder. Every toy inside the egg is carefully designed for young children: Ferrero requires that its design be approved by experts (including ENT specialists and pediatricians) and meet European regulatory standards.

In Italy, breakfast is a true ritual. And Ferrero accompanies it with soft and delicate snack cakes, perfect with a cup of coffee, to start the day with simplicity and flavor. The combination of sweetness and aroma creates a unique balance, capable of evoking authentic and familiar emotions, in full respect of Italian tradition.

Today, the brand is distributed in over 100 countries and continues to represent Italian confectionery excellence around the world. Ferrero’s vision remains firmly focused on quality, respect for consumers, and the evolution of modern tastes and dietary needs. The company is not just a brand—it’s a universe made of memories, emotions, and goodness that accompanies the growth of millions of people.

Whether it’s a sweet break, a family moment, or a small reward at the end of the day, these products represent a choice that combines simplicity and safety. And in every package lies the guarantee of a brand that has made trust its most precious ingredient.
