Frey is a Swiss chocolate brand which is almost as old as that of the European chocolate industry itself.
It started around the middle of the nineteenth century, when chocolate making changed over from manual to industrial production.
Frey Chocolate was founded in 1887 by the brothers Max and Robert Frey in Aarau. In its early days the company considerably influenced the way chocolate moved from being an exclusive indulgence for a few privileged people to being a sweet treat generally available to a wide section of the population.
I had the pleasure to taste the “Extra Fine Milk Lait exta fin Vollmilch” chocolate of Frey. A milk chocolate with a cocoa content of 31 percent.
The promise of an “extra fine” chocolate is not a fake. The chocolate is extra fine indeed. There is a pleasant creamy taste of milk chocolate. The chocolate melts quite smoothly on the tongue.
As Frey Chocolate is a very cheap chocolate, the price-performance ratio is just fabulous. You receive a good taste for little money.
The chocolate was manufactured in the Swiss town of Buchs. The official name of the chocolate producer is “Chocolat Frey AG”.
I have recently decided not to buy any chocolates that use cocoa beans collected by child slaves.
Your chocolate is wonderful.
Can you reassure me your cocoa beans you use are free of being connected to child slavery?

Could you tell me if I can buy from you the Freys white chocolate with blueberries, and if not where I might be able to purchase it from.

I adore Frey Chocolate and buy it like no tomorrow when in Switzerland. I heard some Target stores carry it, but have never seen it.
Best bang for the buck chocolate out there.
