INGREDIENTS Cocoa The difference in taste, aroma and colour of the chocolate owes a great deal to the species of tree on the one hand and the composition of the soil on the other. Toblerone is created out of the subtle blend of beans of different origins, carefully selected. Chocolate is a valuable food, due to the natural compounds of cocoa, which contain trace amounts of theobromine, histamine and even caffeine. The cocoa plant was given its name by Swedish natural scientist Carl von Linné (1707-1778), who called it "theobroma cacao" (food of the gods).
