(SPOT.ph) If there are two things you can trust Switzerland to excel at, they are: (1) timepieces and (2) chocolates. We're pretty damn sure you can probably name at least one or two chocolate brands from the country. But here’s one you might not know—yet—that stands shoulder to shoulder with the best: Läderach (pronounced leh-duh-rah). And it looks like we'll get to know this Swiss chocolate and confectionery manufacturer soon enough, as it's opening its first branch in the Philippines.
Läderach opens first branch in the Philippines
Läderach is finally bringing its world-renowned Swiss chocolates to the Philippines, with its very first store set to open at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. According to the store signage, we won’t have to wait much longer—the grand opening is scheduled for September 2025. The news was confirmed through SM Mall of Asia’s official social media channels, where they shared the announcement along with a sneak peek of the upcoming store location:

Läderach has built its reputation on two things: its signature FrischSchoggi (Fresh Chocolate) slabs of Swiss chocolate in a wide variety of flavors: take your pick from Classic Milk, Brazil 70% Dark, Blackberry Dark, Almond Milk, Almond Dark, Espresso Macchiato Milk, Mixed Nuts White, Strawberry-Curd White, Salted Caramel Milk-Dark, Rocher Milk, Raspberry-Blackberry White, Pistachio Dark, Orange Almond Dark, Nut-Trio Milk-Dark, Macadamia Milk, Hazelnut Milk, Hazelnut Dark, and Cornflakes Milk.

As if Läderach's library of FrischSchoggi wasn't enough, they recently unveiled a new flavor called Dubai, which has pistachios and kataifi (as you've probably guessed); they also brought back the Summer Dream White-Dark, launched back in 2024, which has white and dark Swiss chocolate layered with blood oranges, passion fruit, and mango, finished with edible Swiss Alpine flowers. They also make chocolate treats in the form of tablets, pralines, chocolate-coated almonds, florentines, and even popcorn.
We have our fingers crossed that Läderach's SM Mall of Asia branch will carry all these flavors and confections—or as many of them as possible.
