I recently received some excellent German chocolate from dear friends in Dusseldorf and we are very much enjoying these sweet treats! The ones I received were organic without palm oil and are absolutely delightful.
The company was founded in 1841, in Stuttgart by pastry chef Wilhelm Roth Jr. In 1876 Roth retired from the company and the small factory was taken over by Wilhelm Wagner and Kommerzienrat Sproesser. In 1896 the company merged with its Stuttgart competitor E. O. Moser & Cie, which was founded in 1846 by master confectioner Eduard Otto Moser. Since then it's been through a number of mergers, acquisitions, etc. with disaster striking in 1942 when the company was shut down for political reasons by the German government. Later in September 1944, the entire factory burned down in an air raid.
However the brand has survived and since June 2007 Storck, the current owner has produced chocolate for Aldi at Moser-Roth GmbH, located in the Berlin borough of Reinickendorf. Their HQ is located at Waldstraße 27, Berlin and the chocolate is mostly made there. They received an award from the German Agricultural Society in 2007.
From their website they listed the following companies and / or brands are Bendicks, Knoppers, Mamba, merci, nimm2, RIESEN, Toffifee, Werther's Original, and Colourful World.
You can get these fine German chocolates, at affordable prices, at Aldi's, Walmart, Amazon and I even found them on eBay :-)
Bottom line: There's a large variety of flavors to choose from, ranging from classic dark and milk chocolate, to modern twists like sea salt caramel and mint, and even truly unique flavors like dark chocolate with chili. (My new favorite, thank you Klaus-Dieter & Karen)
