Who doesn't like delicious sweets? How, for example, to go on a visit without taking a present with you, the main requirements for which are presentable packaging and good content. That is why Ferrero Rocher candies rarely linger on the shelves of our stores. The manufacturer, contrary to the opinion of many people, is not Roshen at all, but the famous Italian company Ferrero. So, if you like traditional European chocolate, be sure that these sweets in golden packaging will be to your taste.
history of the company
This largest company was established in 1940 in Alba. Its founder was Michele Ferrero, who gave the name to his brainchild. By analogy, the Ferrero Rocher sweets were also named. The manufacturer, however, became famous not due to exquisite sweets. The first product that came off the assembly line was chocolate paste. In 1946, the consumer received it with enthusiasm. In fact, this is a quality chocolate cream butter with fried nuts. Since 1954, the brand has been renamed, it has been given the name still known to us by Nutella.
Prosperity and worldwide fame
However, the company did not stop at the production of chocolate paste. In 1968, she pleased consumers with new products, it became the most tender chocolate filled with milk cream. He began to position himself as Kinder Chocolate. The high milk content made it possible to say that this product is good for children. After only 6 years, the company released a new global brand, which today is loved by all children. This is a chocolate egg with a toy inside. Almost simultaneously, Ferrero Rocher sweets entered the market. The manufacturer put his heart and soul into their creation, as a result, the world received an exquisite dessert. By the way, Raffaello sweets appeared almost simultaneously. In fact, the technology of their production is similar, in both cases the shell is a crispy waffle, and inside there is a delicate cream and nut. These luxurious sweets brought the company millions of dollars and fame.
Popularity among the sweet tooth
Of course, there are a lot of chocolates on the market today, which means you always have a choice. Why are buyers choosing Ferrero Rocher candies for many years in a row? The manufacturer was able to make the perfect dessert - delicious, light, and incredibly attractive. It simultaneously serves as a present and table decoration, as well as an exquisite treat. To taste, sweets can compete with many other desserts. That is why the brand does not lose its popularity from year to year, on the contrary, it stands out against the backdrop of new products as something ideal and perfect - an unsurpassed classic. However, today there are many questions about whose candy Ferrero Rocher. The manufacturer (as we have already indicated) is an Italian company. This question arises in connection with the opening of the Ukrainian producer of sweets with the consonant name "Roshen."
What awaits you under the packaging
Have all readers already tried these sweets? If not, then it's time to discover this pleasure. Sweets “Ferrero Rocher” (producer - country Italy) - this is a great crunchy dessert, which is a ball of milk chocolate and waffles, covered with nuts. Under a crispy shell - delicate cream and whole hazelnuts. A perfect combination that is impossible not to love.
The cost of sweets
In fact, it is quite high, but the pleasure is worth it. In Russia, these sweets are very popular. They rightfully belong to premium sweets, and therefore are perfect to act as a gift. The packaging is very concise, today you can find on sale packaging in the form of a bell, Christmas tree, parallelepiped, cone, and also a square. A package of 100 g will cost you 280 rubles, and 350 g - 852 rubles.
Structure
Since we are not buying packaging, but sweets, the composition will probably interest you too. Candy producer Ferrero Rocher (Russia also has a manufacturing complex) pleases us with fairly acceptable ingredients. It’s difficult to call them useful, but candies do not contain anything dangerous either. These are nuts and cocoa butter, milk powder, sugar, soya lecithin, cocoa powder and milk whey. In addition, the composition contains wheat flour and vegetable oil, as well as vanillin. Calorie content - 580 kcal per 100 g of product.
Factory in the Vladimir region
Of course, sweets do not carry to us from Italy, it was much easier for the manufacturing company to create a factory in Russia. Such a decision was made in 2007, and after long disputes, Vladimir Region was chosen. Already in 2009, the first production line was launched. Today it is a modern production complex, the area of which exceeds 80,000 m 2 . At the same time, a foreign company not only provides people with jobs, but also makes its contribution to improving the economic performance of the region.
Products of the Roshen company
With the onset of conflicts in Ukraine, this topic looks more and more topical, so let's put all the points. The consonant names have baffled people and now many of them believe that the candy producer Ferrero Rocher is Poroshenko. Actually nothing like that, we already told you that these are Italian sweets. Their manufacturer appreciates traditions and for many years keeps the bar of quality at the highest level. But "Roshen" - these are cheaper candies, often with dubious composition. However, it is not only a consonant title. The fact is that the Ukrainian manufacturer decided to go even further and grab a part of the market already kindly conquered by the Italians. What do I need to do? That's right, to release products that are as similar as possible to a well-known brand, preferably expensive. Apparently from these considerations, they plagiarized Ferrero Rocher sweets. The producer Poroshenko (a photo of the products could not be found, and representatives of the Ukrainian company deny the fact of distribution of this product through the distribution network) changed the name very little and turned out to be Rocher sweets. Italian manufacturers sued their Ukrainian counterparts. Those, in turn, argued that this is a completely independent brand, which is completely nothing like its Italian counterpart. As a result, the Ukrainian company Roshen lost the court over the Rocher brand, which means that the buyer will no longer be misled.
To summarize
We all love sweets. We buy them when we visit, we take home for tea, as a gift and for work. Even ordinary caramels make our life brighter, to say nothing of the exquisite and stunning Ferrero Rocher. Their only drawback is the high price, although perhaps this is not bad. You can break away from them in the only way - when the box ends. And if they were more accessible, the chance to quickly gain excess weight would increase at times.
