Bought a Milka chocolate 100g while traveling through Germany and noticed it contains Alpen milch. Is this normal for Milka or is it only the chocolate sold in Southern Germany?

    Alpenmilch is not a protected description of origin or feeding of the cows, has no legal defintion, and can be put on any milk from anywhere. It’s just marketing.

    “Bergbauernmilch” would be such a protected label.

    Yes, Milka chocolate always contains “Alpen Milch”. Not that this term actually matters. The cows are seeing as much of the Alps as their relatives up north: Pretty much nothing. It doesn’t matter after all if the stable is in Bavaria, Austria or Schleswig-Holstein but the label makes for some nice marketing
