About Lindt
The Lindt brand covers Excellence bars, Lindor truffles and the seasonal gold bunny, and is sold through supermarkets and the company's own boutiques. Its master chocolatier advertising and the conching heritage underpin a price position well above mainstream chocolate. Rodolphe Lindt invented conching in 1879, the long grinding process that gives chocolate its smooth texture.
