I thought the Toblerone factory here (i live nearby) is the only factory they have.
Compare Coca-Cola, Mc Royal, Cheese between Switzerland Germany Italy..
It’s always bit different – question is what you find better..
For me it’s usually product’s which are not cheated by artificial or reduced sugar, chocolate made from full fat milk (powder) etc..
Bad is that instead of saying to people eat less of good things they creating and stuffing us with crap.. And regulators clamps by their hands.. bravo you reduced sugar and packing size by 15% keeping the same price… Zum Kotzen..
of course it doesn’t taste the same.. it’s owned by nestle. it tastes like hershey’s… plastic and waxy
It’s quite common to adapt an export product to the regional taste preferences, so it might well be produced in the very same factory in Switzerland but it’s export quality. If I remember correctly one important factor is the particle size of the cocoa liquor, the finer the creamier. The Swiss love that ultra fine taste, but other countries actually prefer a bit of a rougher grind. Maybe they also use different quality ingredients, and freshness is another good point
i had to work at the toblerone factory in bern for one day: my entire body then smelled like a bar of toblerone for multiple days 👍
i don’t know if it would be the same smell abroad…
Dont you dare
Too bad that they’re moving their factory to Slovakia.
Isch ebe de bünzli
No real surprise there
It’s like the difference between the Nutella produced in the Alba factory and the Nutella produced in any other factory: completely different (you can find where it is produced in the production code)
It looks like recipes are sometimes slightly changed (specifically the sort and amount of sugar) according to the country the product is sold in. I thought the same about Coca Cola or McDonald’s when I was in the USA, even if it’s always mentioned that the taste is everywhere the same.

[Here’s an article about recipes and countries for Coca Cola as an example.](https://www.mashed.com/209853/why-coke-tastes-different-in-other-countries/)
[There’s another about McDonald’s.](https://www.mashed.com/877528/what-mcdonalds-in-other-countries-is-really-like/)
It’s the sugar, US use corn sugar, we use beet sugar
They count it as “3 servings” to make the figures look more acceptable perhaps. It’s still essentially sugar and fat, and a shitload of it.
You can shred me into pieces, but I hate Toblerone…
100%agree
Toblerone in der Jogginghose
It is Toblerone…perfectly fine chocolate, but for sure not “the good stuff”
