About
As of 2026, it's 44 years old.
Ferrero Rocher is a chocolate so fancy it comes individually gift-wrapped in gold foil, ensuring that even one feels like a small occasion. A whole hazelnut, a wafer shell, chocolate-hazelnut cream, and chopped nuts — it's affordable luxury you can eat in two bites.
Launched in 1982, its famous 'Ambassador's reception' ads — where a gold pyramid of the chocolates dazzles fancy party guests — made it permanent shorthand for 'classy' on holiday tables worldwide.
Layered, gold-wrapped, and faintly aristocratic, Ferrero Rocher is the chocolate that makes you feel like you're spoiling guests, even when it's just you on the couch.
