That was amazing, excited. I and my daughter were very happy. Thank you very much. You can taste the chocolates.

Do you know that Cailler is the first to invent chocolate in a bar form?

Published on May, 2020

Fact - i did not know that Cailler is a Nestle product. We were in a tour group and had gathered some interesting facts from this visit. Maison Cailler is an animated museum. Our visit here gave us glimpses of some chocolate manufacturing operations. Apparently Cailler is not available for export and is found only in Switzerland. After the end of the tour, there was an area where you could generously sample some varieties of their produce. And the last spot is of course the gift shop where we bought many fresh chocolates home. It was really a sweet sweet memory of my chocolate factory visit.

Not just a regular chocolate factory

Published on Mar, 2020

My friends and I were in Montreux to go to the International Hot Air Balloon Festival, and we had a free day on Sunday. Since Broc was pretty close to Montreux, we decided to visit the Cailler chocolate factory. They do have a student discount, which was nice. It's a short walk from the Broc Fabrique train stop. You walk to the ticket office then into the main building, which houses both the museum, gift shop, and cafe. The tours are about every hour, and the train also comes every hour more or less. They have audio guides in various languages for the tour. You walk through a brief history of where chocolate originates from with amazing visuals and sound. After that, we walked into a room that showed the supply chain of chocolate from people that grow the beans to deliver the chocolate. Then comes the factory part, where you can see people making chocolate. Lastly, the most exciting part! Chocolate tastings. It's a great way to sample chocolates because there are no samples in the gift shops. They had about ten different chocolate samples. I really wish they had water because tasting all of them was really sweet.

Really nteresting journey through all things chocolat Cailler

Published on Mar, 2020

Some friends drove us to the Cailler factory near the cheese village of Gruyere. The journey up from Lausanne was spectacular in itself. The original factory (a building architecturally interesting) still stands proud, dominating the mountainscape. The tour (aided by chocolate bar shaped audio guides which work really well) leads you through the complete history of the Caillier brand from 1819 to the present day. Along the way you will learn and begin to understand everything that goes into the making of quality chocolate. This includes lots of touching, smelling and finally tasting everything that goes into this delightful product. The tour finishes in the boutique where I imagine very few people leave empty handed! Well worth a visit.

For the LOVE of chocolate

Published on Feb, 2020

Whether or not you like chocolate, this place is very cool to see. On the factory tour your guaranteed to learn so much more about chocolate than you every imagined there was to even know about chocolate. If you like chocolate, you will get a chance to gorge yourself on chocolate at the end of the tour. VERY COOL!
