Villars Maître Chocolatier SA is a Swiss chocolate company founded in 1901 and based in the city of Fribourg. The company is noted for its success in selling to tourists, owing to a number of unique products including chocolates with an unusually high percentage of nuts and almonds and 72% cocoa dark chocolate napolitains.
Villars proposes mostly milk chocolate bars. Among milk chocolate products are terroir milk bars containing milk from a specific region, such as Vaud, Fribourg, Bern and Lucerne (all being located on the Alpine foothills).
The company is today directed by Alexandre Sacerdoti and employs around 140 staff. It is owned by the Savencia Fromage & Dairy group (formerly Soparind Bongrain).
