Toblerone, a chocolate bar known for its triangular shape is more than just a sweet indulgence. It represents a captivating blend of history and inventive confectionery. In 1908, Theodor Tobler and Emil Baumann created Toblerone in Bern, Switzerland establishing its association with chocolate craftsmanship. The name itself combines "Tobler" and "Torrone," a term referring to honey and almond nougat which are ingredients alongside Swiss milk chocolate and a hint of egg white. The triangular design is rumored to have drawn inspiration from the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, signifying both the brands origins and its unwavering commitment to excellence.
