Toblerone Is Removing the Matterhorn From Its Packaging

Mondelez is making the change to comply with Swiss law as it moves some production outside of Switzerland

Toblerone, the triangle-shaped chocolate bars that fill duty-free airport shops, is losing some of its Swiss look as more of the treats are made outside of Switzerland.

The Matterhorn, the famous mountain in the Swiss Alps that has been on Toblerone packaging since 1970, will soon be gone. In its place will be a “streamlined mountain logo,” said a spokeswoman for Mondelez International Inc., the snack company behind the chocolates.

Mondelez said it is making the changes to comply with Swiss law, which says that production of certain foods must be done in Switzerland in order to use the country’s symbols on packaging.

The company said it will be making some Toblerone bars in Bratislava, Slovakia, to keep up with rising demand for the chocolate treat. It will continue to make Toblerone in Bern, Switzerland, where the chocolate brand was founded 115 years ago. Mondelez said it has updated the Bern factory to produce 90 million more 3.5-ounce bars a year.

The chocolate’s recipe will remain the same, the Mondelez spokeswoman said. An outline of a bear hidden in the Matterhorn logo will also stick around, the spokeswoman said, and will appear in the new mountain logo.

Toblerone has been around since 1908, the invention of Swiss chocolatier Theodor Tobler and his cousin Emil Baumann. Its name is a fusion of Mr. Tobler’s last name and torrone, the Italian word for the honey-and-nut nougat used in the bars. The chocolate has a distinct triangular shape, with peaks that look like a mountain range.

In 2016, another Toblerone change upset fans. The amount of chocolate was reduced in some bars sold in the U.K. because of the rising costs of ingredients and production, Mondelez said at the time, causing the gap between the triangular peaks of chocolate to be wider apart.

Toblerone is sold around the world, but the golden triangle packages are hard to miss in airport stores, where giant sizes of the chocolates are available, sometimes weighing more than 4 pounds.

In an episode of “Friends,” Toblerone fan Joey Tribbiani stopped Ross Geller, played by David Schwimmer, as he rushed to the airport. “Ross! Ross!” Matt LeBlanc as Joey shouted. “If you’re going to the airport, can you pick me up another one of those Toblerone bars?”

In addition to the mountain logo swap, Toblerone’s new packaging will also remove references to being made in Switzerland and make an addition: the signature of Mr. Tobler, one of the chocolate’s founders.

Citizen Kanebridge Car Club has announced a major new partnership with Bullrush Rally, Australia’s leading automotive lifestyle community, unlocking a powerful series of exclusive driving and motorsport experiences for its private members.

The collaboration will give Citizen Kanebridge members privileged access to Bullrush Rally’s coveted calendar, including supercar rallies, private track days, curated drive events and premium Formula 1 hospitality. 

It marks a significant expansion of the club’s automotive offering and reinforces its position as a private members’ platform built around access, connection and exceptional experiences.

“This partnership with Bullrush Rally represents exactly the type of exclusive opportunities Citizen Kanebridge was created to deliver,” Marwan Rahme, CEO of Kanebridge Media, said.

“Bullrush has built an extraordinary community around automotive passion and lifestyle, and we’re incredibly excited to give our members access to these experiences.

“It’s about creating unforgettable moments and bringing like-minded people together through shared passions.”

The first experience available through the partnership will see Citizen Kanebridge Car Club members offered access to the Bullrush Rally Suite at the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Sunday, March 8.

Positioned on Walker Straight with a private trackside balcony, the Bullrush Rally Suite offers prime views of the main straight alongside gourmet dining, premium beverages, live entertainment and exclusive hospitality. 

Guests will also have the opportunity to meet Günther Steiner, the former Haas Formula One Team Principal and one of the sport’s most recognisable figures, following his starring role in Netflix’s global hit series Drive to Survive. 

Known for his candid leadership style and pivotal role in establishing the Haas team in Formula 1, Steiner has become one of the most influential and charismatic personalities in modern motorsport.

Founded in 2014, Bullrush Rally has grown into one of Australia’s most respected automotive communities, bringing together successful entrepreneurs, executives and enthusiasts through curated rallies, track days and high-end lifestyle events. 

Beyond its luxury experiences, the organisation has raised more than $250,000 for charities supporting sick children, mental health initiatives and medical research across Australia.

Through the new partnership, Citizen Kanebridge Car Club members will gain priority access to Bullrush’s flagship events, including multi-day rallies, Formula 1 hospitality suites, exclusive track days and private member-only gatherings.

The collaboration represents a significant evolution of Citizen Kanebridge’s automotive offering, positioning the club at the centre of Australia’s most exclusive driving and motorsport experiences, while continuing to deliver the access and opportunities that define the private members’ platform.
