By GlobalData“The Chocolat Frey brand is Switzerland’s number one selling chocolate,” Schilling said. “Unlike many of the brands with Swiss heritage currently offered for sale here in North America, Chocolat Frey products are produced with 100% Swiss chocolate and authentic GMO-free ingredients creating a taste experience that we believe consumers here will treasure above others.”
