Fabrique de chocolat Cailler

Fabrique de chocolat Cailler is a chocolate factory in Broc that uses specialized machinery and traditional methods to process cocoa into finished products. The facility displays the complete production chain from raw cocoa beans to finished confections.

The factory was founded in 1819 and relocated to Broc in 1898, becoming a significant industrial site in the region. Its acquisition by the Nestlé group in 1929 marked the beginning of a new era for the company.

The factory represents a long Swiss tradition of cocoa and chocolate making that remains visible in today's production processes. Visitors can see through the exhibitions how this craft has been maintained across generations.

Visitors can book guided tours that show production in action and offer various tasting samples throughout the facility. It is advisable to plan ahead and check what language options and group sizes are available.

In the 1930s the factory developed an innovative technique to make chocolate bars with air bubbles, giving them a light and crispy texture. This method became the foundation for a product line that remains popular today.
