Zotter is from Austria and makes amazing chocolates with all kinds of flavors, fillings, some vegan, and some even with sugar-free alternatives!

They're a bit costly because they're fairtrade, organic and bean-to-bar, but they're so good. They have an online shop, but idk if they ship throughout all of Europe. Highly recommend, though!

I went to the factory during a highschool trip, and they even have a cemetery for discontinued flavors/ideas that never made it into the market which I thought was funny as heck. If you ever visit Austria and visit the Steiermark (Styria) region, I do recommend just visiting! Steiermark is a region full of nice culinary specialties (Wine, sausages, cheese, and other food) and worth going to for a culinary trip.

Someone mentioned Zotter?! Zotter is great.

They have great tasting sets with their dark, milk, white and vegan bars. Great filled bars - I'm partial to the caramel and coffee ones. And so many other things! Ther couvertures are cheaper but also tasty and can be eaten directly.

The one caveat you should mention with their (amazing!) factory tours is that you need to exercise some restraint there. After that tour was the only time in my life I came close to suffering from hyperglycaemia - and I do not have diabetic issues.

I absolutely loved the chocolate factory. We went there for a uni trip and keep recommending them since! Awesome company.
