The invention of chocolate as we know it today is a truly global tale. Many nations claim the credit for this delicious creation enjoyed all over the world. Switzerland certainly deserves it for making chocolate so irresistibly melt-in-the-mouth!

Made in the Swiss Alpine region called Toggenburg – popular all over the world! In recent decades, the crisp Kägi specialities found their way not only to Switzerland’s neighbours, but also as far afield as the Middle East, Asia and the USA. Even Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe is said to have been a Kägi fan!

Chocolate is something of a prima donna: It doesn’t like too much sunshine, nor too much dampness – and takes deep offence if subjected to abrupt changes in temperature! :) In this blog article, we let you in on the secrets of how to store chocolate in order to enjoy the delicate, creamy Kägi häppiness moments as long as possible.

At Kägi, we are all agreed: the inner qualities are what really count. But good contents also deserve an attractive packaging and with that in mind, the entire Kägi range is about to appear in a new, fresh design. In its new garb, the traditional recipe – tried and tested over many decades – tastes especially good :)

80 years have elapsed since the company's founder Otto Kägi settled with his children in the Swiss municipality of Lichtensteig in order to deliver his delicious wafers from here. His three sons, Otto, Eugene and Alfred built on this success and created the unique Kägi bar that brings moments of häppiness to countless people throughout the world – as well as here, in our factory.

Meinrad Meier (62) is the longest-serving employee at the Kägi factory. Sometimes he even takes his work home – his favourite is the hazelnut variety. It seems you just can't get enough häppiness.
