Felfort, Chocolate manufacturer in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Felfort is a chocolate manufacturer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, producing a wide range of confectionery products. The factory makes both classic chocolate bars and seasonal specialties such as Easter eggs and nougat, sold throughout the country.
The company began in 1912 as a small workshop producing around five kilograms of chocolate by hand each night. The introduction of mechanical refiners later brought the breakthrough to industrial production, allowing the business to grow.
The name comes from Felipe Fort, the founder who first sold his products at markets in Buenos Aires. Today, almost every Argentine knows the typical packaging with its colorful designs, found in many shops across the country.
The production facility is located in an industrial area of Buenos Aires and is not open for tours. The confectionery is available in most supermarkets and kiosks throughout Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
The first locally made Easter bunnies appeared on the market in the 1930s, replacing expensive European imports. Many older Argentines still remember the moment when these treats suddenly became affordable.
