About Freia
Freia is the dominant chocolate brand in Norway, founded in Oslo in 1889 and named after the Norse goddess. Its Melkesjokolade bar occupies the position in Norwegian culture that Cadbury Dairy Milk holds in Britain. Mondelēz owns it through the Kraft acquisition of Cadbury, which had itself bought the Norwegian business decades earlier.
