About Milka chocolate
Milka is a European chocolate brand introduced in 1901 and now part of Mondelēz International. Its lilac packaging and cow mascot are familiar across Europe. The brand’s name combines the German words for milk and cocoa, and Alpine milk chocolate is central to its history. Our store is an independent retailer and is not the official Milka or Mondelēz website.
What makes Milka different from British chocolate?
Milka is known for Alpine milk chocolate with a smooth, creamy texture. Its flavour and sweetness may taste different from other British-market chocolate brands, depending on the product and personal preference. The range also includes European-market collaborations and flavours such as Oreo, TUC and LU biscuit combinations that are not always widely stocked in UK supermarkets.
Milka and Cadbury are separate chocolate brands owned by Mondelēz International. They use distinct product recipes and ranges.

Ingredients and allergens
As one manufacturer-published example, a 100g Milka Alpine Milk tablet has been labelled with: sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, skimmed milk powder, whey powder (from milk), milk fat, emulsifier (soya lecithins), hazelnut paste and flavouring. The manufacturer’s information for that example states 33% minimum cocoa solids and 18% minimum milk solids and warns that other nuts and wheat may be present. This is not a universal ingredient list for every Milka product.
Recipes, quantities and allergen declarations differ across flavours and markets. Biscuit varieties may contain wheat or gluten. Hazelnut varieties contain nut ingredients, and other products may contain traces of nuts or wheat. Always check the actual wrapper for the exact product and country supplied, especially if you have an allergy or dietary restriction.
Vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten questions
Products containing milk are not vegan. Vegetarian suitability, halal certification and gluten-free status should not be assumed for the entire range. Check the specific pack’s symbols and ingredient list or contact the manufacturer for confirmation before buying for a restricted diet.

Milka can appeal to European-chocolate fans, people looking to try flavours beyond familiar UK chocolate bars, fans of sweet-and-salty biscuits such as TUC and LU, and shoppers choosing chocolates for gifting. Our catalogue also includes multipacks and seasonal varieties; availability may change.
