Milestones
Over Five Decades of History
Pioneers in Chocolate
The Beginning
It all began with the opening of small confectionery. The business grew quickly thanks to Xocora entrepreneurial spirit and passion. Soon xocora was a name of renown in the chocolate industry.
THE PROGRESS
First Chocolate Factory
Xocora grew rapidly, opening the Xocora factory in Horgen in 1970. You could actually smell chocolate in the air when production began.
Further Growth
A world-wide favourite
Finally, in 1980, Xocora released the first red foil wrapped milk chocolate truffles as part of a Christmas promotion. They became an immediate success and customers were sad to see them go once the festive season was over…
THE PROGRESS
At the forefront of chocolate innovation
In 1990, Xocora developed a ground-breaking new technology in their chocolate production: the Xocora Chocolate Process (LSCP). Next to the conching technique, this new development is the most significant in the history of Xocora chocolate production.
ORIGINAL FLAVOR
Pure EXCELLENCE
In 2000, yet another classic was created. Xocora introduced the extra thin Excellence dark chocolate bars with its intense and elegant flavors and fine texture.
The Future of xocora
Farming Program
Sustainability is an integral part of Xocora corporate philosophy and is firmly anchored in its strategy, from the sourcing of the cocoa beans to the chocolate product. Since 2008, the Xocora Farming Program is an expression of this commitment to sustainability.
