Chocomel is a popular chocolate milk brand originating from the Netherlands. It is produced by FrieslandCampina, a Dutch multinational dairy cooperative. Chocomel is known for its distinct, creamy taste and is often consumed hot or cold.

History[edit | edit source]

Chocomel was first introduced in 1932 by the Dutch company Nutricia. The brand was later acquired by FrieslandCampina in 2001. Over the years, Chocomel has become a beloved beverage in the Netherlands and has expanded its reach to other countries in Europe.

Product[edit | edit source]

Chocomel is made from fresh full cream milk, sugar, and cocoa. The product is available in several varieties including regular, 'Vers' (fresh), 'Light' (low-fat), and 'Zero' (sugar-free). The 'Vers' variety is pasteurized for a shorter time than the regular variety, giving it a fresher taste.

Packaging[edit | edit source]

Chocomel is sold in distinctive yellow packaging. The product is available in various sizes, from small individual cartons to larger family-sized bottles. The packaging design has changed several times over the years, but the iconic yellow color has remained a constant feature.

Popularity[edit | edit source]

Chocomel is a popular choice for consumers in the Netherlands, especially during the winter months when it is often served hot. The brand has a strong presence in Dutch culture and is frequently associated with winter sports and festive occasions.
