Chocomel

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

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

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

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

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.
