Jacques Klaus, founder of the Klaus Chocolate Factory, created this company in 1856 in Switzerland. It was at the beginning of the 20th century that the Morteau factory was created (nowadays, the only production site is at Morteau). From the outset, the KLAUS company has manufactured and marketed the famous "soft caramel" which has made it famous and has been able to develop recognized know-how in the molding and filling of chocolate.
