Alprose Chocolate

Alprose is a chocolate factory and museum in Caslano where visitors watch the complete process of turning cocoa beans into finished chocolate through elevated viewing areas. The facility demonstrates how the beans are roasted, ground, and combined with other ingredients before being packaged.

The company was founded in 1957 and grew into a significant chocolate maker in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. The factory has shaped chocolate production in the Ticino region for decades.

The museum displays document the complete journey of chocolate production, from cocoa bean harvesting to the creation of Swiss chocolate varieties.

Visits are possible daily and the route through the factory is well organized for visitors, with viewing galleries that provide clear sightlines of the production. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you walk several levels and stand on the galleries.

The factory operates its production without CO2 emissions while working with sustainable cocoa sources. This commitment to environmental care sets it apart from many other producers.
