MILK. The taste of Kinder.

Milk is one of the ingredients that gives Kinder products the taste you and your family love, that’s why we take so much care in getting it just right.

Our quality guarantee

Milk is a key ingredient for Kinder and is included in all our products. Therefore, we carefully select our milk from suppliers consistently guaranteeing the milk’s taste, quality and safety. When selecting suppliers our requirements are very strict and only around 30 dairies in the world have become Kinder long-lasting partners.

The controls we carry out on our milk following our guidelines are more numerous and some of them even stricter than the standard requirement of the legislation.

Milk Part 1

From farm to recipe

Milk Part 2

We use different types of milk across our products but for most of them we use powdered milk, obtained by removing most of the water.



Right after each milking, the milk is brought to a temperature of 4°C and shipped by tank to the dairy where it is tested. Here, the cream is separated from the milk to obtain semi-skimmed and skimmed milk. The milk is analysed and standardised in fat and protein content. It is then pasteurized at 75°C for a few seconds then cooled once again, to make sure it is safe and free from harmful bacteria, while still maintaining its characteristics.

Milk Part 2

To transform the liquid milk into powdered milk we carry on one additional step, a “spray drying”, this is where a careful hot air treatment allows most of the water content to evaporate. The process is carried out with technologies that maintain the original properties of the liquid milk. 
This whole process is done within 72 hours of the milk arriving at the dairies, to maintain the best taste and sensory characteristics. The milk is now ready to be used in our recipes.

There are also other dairy products (milk derivates) such as anhydrous milk fat, whey, and milk protein, that are also used for their specific qualities to make Kinder product taste unique.

Working with suppliers we trust.

Milk part 3

We can trace all our milk back to the dairies globally. 



We have developed long-term relationships with carefully selected milk producers who respect our strict quality standards. 



We collaborate with them to drive continuous improvement and encourage them to adopt best practices in milk production. This enables us to insure and even improve the quality of our milk.
