Ferrero Rocher is a spherical shaped chocolate with a whole roasted hazelnut enclosed in a very thin wafer cover packed with hazelnut cream and chopped hazelnuts. This is all then wrapped inside a gold paper wrapper. Ferrero Rocher was invented by an Italian chocolatier named Ferrero SpA and was introduced in 1982.

A unique taste experience of contrasting layers: a whole crunchy hazelnut in the heart, a delicious creamy hazelnut filling, a crisp wafer shell covered with chocolate and gently roasted hazelnut pieces.

Thanks to its unique and exquisite recipe, the refined golden wrapper and a distinctive transparent box, Ferrero Rocher was recognized since its launch as a true symbol of Ferrero quality and excellence.

Founded in 1946 in Alba, a picturesque town in the north of Italy, by brothers Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero, the Ferrero Group is now one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies with more than 35 much-loved brands such as Kinder, Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, and Tic Tac, sold in more than 170 countries.

The single most important reason for Ferrero's success ever since its inception is the quality of its products. But Ferrero isn't just about the products; it is about the stand-alone brands – Nutella, Kinder, Tic Tac, and Ferrero Rocher that are renowned worldwide.

A crunchy shell of delicious milk chocolate, enriched with selected hazelnut grains, all wrapped in gold. The perfect gift to share.

Today, the chocolate continues to be many things: an Eid or Diwali gift, a status symbol, a comfort treat. Part of what made Ferrero Rocher so successful among South Asians was that it exuded luxury but was attainable for new immigrants. That connotation, however, is slowly but surely changing.

It reported a global turnover of $12.96 billion last year, according to Confectionary News. In the US, Ferrero Rocher is the No. 4 premium chocolate brand within mass retail says Shalini Stansberry, director of marketing, Ferrero Premium Chocolates USA.

Ferrero Rocher quickly became an icon of affordable luxury within chocolate confectionery thanks to its strong visual identity: the inimitable golden wrapper, the distinctive paper cup and the transparent, original box.

It was inspired by the desire to make all the pleasure of a sophisticated chocolate specialty accessible to a much wider public. Initially sold in Europe, Ferrero Rocher® soon became the favorite boxed chocolate for millions of people around the world.
