This much-loved chocolate brand came into existence in 1896, when the Maršner family started a small confectionery business in Prague. The brand quickly gained popularity and within a short time represented one-third of chocolate production in the Czech Republic. In 1991 its market position was further strengthened after the Nestlé acquisition. Since then, the Orion brand – known for craftsmanship, quality and localness – has gained even more popularity with Czech and Slovak consumers.

The benefits of chocolate

Eating chocolate has its benefits and feeling happy is one of them. Studies have found that ingesting dark chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins that make us feel good. Additionally, chocolate can stimulate the body’s production of serotonin, acting as a natural anti depressant. So, cheer up that someone special in your life with a little bit of chocolate.

Aero brand was introduced in the North of England in 1935 as the ‘new chocolate’ and proved so popular that sales were extended throughout the UK by the end of the same year. By 1936, the popularity of Aero chocolate extended to New York. The brand’s success comes from its unique bubbly texture. The way the bubbles collapse and then melt on your tongue creates a deliciously smooth chocolate sensation. Over the years the popularity of the brand has spread and today the Aero brand is enjoyed in many countries including Canada, Australia, South Africa and Japan.
