Fertilizer: Fertilize your Alocasia 'Chocolate' about once a month during the growing season (spring through summer) using a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Always water your plant before fertilizing to prevent root burn, and reduce or cease fertilizing during the winter months when growth naturally slows.

Shelf life is at least 3 months, please keep cool, dry and away from direct sunlight and strong odours. In 2000, the parent group took the name of Kraft Foods and Mondelēz international in 2012 after a split of Kraft Foods. Three years later in 1990, Jacobs Suchard was absorbed by the cigarette maker Philip Morris who integrated Cote d’Or into the Kraft General Foods group renamed Kraft Jacobs Suchard, the brand Côte d’Or remained a global quality brand of the group. The same year, 1906, the Cote d’Or logo was born: an elephant in front of a palm tree and three pyramids, borrowed by Lambert Michiels from a Ghana stamp, which will change only slightly (the current logo is a single elephant) and the graphics brand, which has remained the same since.

What better way to mark a birthday, anniversary or big achievement than with some irresistible chocolate? Indulge in creamy truffles filled with smooth ganache and caramel, dive into bonbons dusted with icing sugar or nibble on chocolate-coated fruit and nuts, all from our selection at Selfridges. In 1987, Nestlé and Jacobs Suchard launched a hostile takeover bid for Cote d’Or, having the effect of a bomb on the financial center in Brussels, unaccustomed to aggressive takeovers. But the families who controlled the company were aware that they needed to grow, with new means that existing shareholders could not provide sufficiently.

During these years the company grew (350 workers at Anderlecht in 1930) and extended: the brand Cote d’Or is registered in the United States in 1931 and the Brussels World Fair in 1935 gives it an international reputation including through the Mignonette, created for the occasion. The capital of the company became Alimenta S.A. and was increased to 500 000 Belgian francs and new buildings were built in 1908, home to new machines.
