The brand's name is a portmanteau of the product's two main ingredients: " Milch" (milk) and " Kakao" (cocoa). [9] History [ edit ] Early ad for Milka On November 17, 1825, Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard (1797–1884) established a pâtisserie in Neuchâtel where he sold a hand-made dessert, chocolat fin de sa fabrique. [10] The following year, Suchard founded Chocolat Suchard and moved production to nearby Serrières, where he produced 25–30kg of chocolate daily in a rented former water mill. During the 1890s, milk was added to Suchard's chocolate, [11] closely following the launch of the Gala Peter brand, founded by Daniel Peter, another Swiss chocolatier.
