It all started at a small pastry shop in Alba, Italy in the late 1940s, when two brothers, Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero, began to think outside of the box.

You may recognize the name from its flagship Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a decadent chocolate and hazelnut treat, and one of the European chocolate brands you should know.
