Due to its exquisite appearance and extremely delicious taste, this chocolate is known as one of the most sought after chocolate candies by people all over the world. Flavor and innovative advertising campaigns were the main reasons behind Ferrero Rocher’s immense popularity. It is one of the few niche chocolates and it is also quite affordable.
The company, Ferrero SpA, has been in the confectionery business for the last 65 years and is headed by Giovanni Ferrero. It is a private organization and is considered one of the most trusted organizations in the world. Most of the company’s products are made up of hazelnuts and cocoa, an amazing combination discovered by the company’s founder, Pietro Ferrero. His first product was Nutella, a chocolate spread made from hazelnuts, cocoa and skimmed milk. The success of Nutella inspired the owners of the company to introduce different products related to chocolate. Pocket Coffee, Giotto, Mon Cheri, Tic Tac, Confetteria Raffaello and Hanuta were the products successfully introduced by the company.
Confetteria Raffaello looks like Ferrero Rocher, but contains almond cream and milk instead. Another famous sweet is Garden Coco which is similar to Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher but made from coconut cream. A famous chocolate from Ferrero SpA is Kinder Surprise, which has a chocolate egg. It comes with a surprise toy for children. Other products that Ferrero SpA manufactures especially for children are Kinder Chocolate, Kinder Bueno and Kinder Happy Hippo.
Rocher lining comes in packs of 6, 12 and 24 pieces. It is a very well scented chocolate candy. It is not like the typical chocolate bar that melts instantly, so you have to eat it slowly to enjoy its full flavor. If you compare the prices of Ferrero Rocher packages to other chocolates, you may find them a bit more expensive compared to other chocolates, such as Cadbury, Kit Kat, etc. However, Forrero Rocher has its own niche flavor and style. Its packs are perfect as romantic gifts, therefore, its demand increases substantially on the occasion of Valentine’s Day.
