The Story of Kambly Biscuits
How Kambly Started
The Kambly story began with Oscar Kambly II. In 1906, he met a girl from Trubschachen, a village in the Emmental valley. He moved there and learned how to be a baker.
In 1910, Oscar and his brother Paul started their own company. They turned the village bakery into a biscuit factory. This was the beginning of Kambly SA.
Famous Recipes
Oscar Kambly created many popular recipes. The famous Bretzeli biscuit was made in 1906. The Caramels à la Crème d'Emmental came out in 1924. These treats are still loved in Switzerland and other countries.
Later, in 1954, the Goldfish Crackers were invented. This was done by Oscar J. Kambly, who was part of the second generation of the family.
