Field notes
Look closer at the wrapper
The wrapper brings together three details from the high Alpine landscape behind this Explorer Series release.
The wildlife
Mountain / snow hare
The Swiss mountain hare (Lepus timidus), also known as the variable or snow hare, is adapted to high-altitude life in the Alps. Its coat turns white in winter for camouflage, while climate change is pushing suitable habitat higher and shrinking its range.

Swiss stone pine
Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) grows near the Alpine tree line, where its cold-hardy form can live for centuries. It is sometimes called the “Queen of the Alps.”

A flavor remembered
“When I was young, I traveled through Switzerland and the surrounding region, collecting chocolate bars as I went. What stayed with me was their remarkably creamy texture and caramel-like character. Alpine Milk grew from that memory — and from the idea that a flavor can bring an entire journey back.”
