Alprose

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alprose is a Swiss chocolate producer based in Caslano (Ticino). It was founded in 1957 under the name Titlis SA (in reference to the mountain in the Swiss Alps)[1] and received its current name in 1983.[2]

Alprose produces a variety of chocolate bars, napolitains and dragées.

The company Alprose is involved in research projects on the Alpine flora, in collaboration with the Swiss National Park. It also collaborates with the Swiss Alpine Club.[3]

The factory in Caslano includes a visitor center and museum, which was inaugurated in 1991. An elevated corridor in the factory allows visitors to watch the production of chocolate bars from the cocoa beans.[4]
