History

LE QUARTIER DES ÂNES.

The Fornerod Family Factory is located since over half a century in the heart of the « Grand’Rue » in Morges, Switzerland. Up until the end of the XIXth century, milk was carried by Donkeys from the next door dairy that has been since then converted into a museum. That is why we have baptized our precious Donkey’s milk chocolate « Le Quartier des Ânes » (Donkey’s quarter).
