A gift of the Gods

The God Quetzalcóatl, brought the cocoa to the world. That was his gift to the Aztecs.

About three thousand years later, in the year 1947, a lover of the "food of Gods" - Xocolatl - started to write a page of the Swiss chocolate history. Years of hard work in various chocolate plants taught Walter Müller to become a specialist in fine chocolate production. He decided to follow his chocolate dream and together with his wife Karin he started to produce chocolate in the 300 year old house of his parents. That particular type of chocolate was used to enrobe the typical Swiss whipes (chocolate coated egg-white mousse), which was a real consolation for the soul after a long deprivation period due to the war. It was a great success! The creative chocolatier became a businessman and posed the basis of the actual Chocolat Bernrain Group.

His eldest son Adalbert took over enthusiasm of the family. His father gave him full trust very soon and accompanied him actively for many years. In 1980 Chocolat Stella, a company based in canton Ticino, became part of the Chocolat Bernrain group.

Under Adalbert Müller the Chocolat Bernrain Group was able to build a reputation to be a reliable and a high quality manufacturer of creative chocolate specialties and sold them all over the world. 

In recent decades organic, Fair-Trade, functional and Kosher chocolate specialties completed the group assortment.

Today Monica Müller, granddaughter of the founder, runs the company into the third generation.
