Friis-Holm is a Danish high-quality bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer founded by Mikkel Friis-Holm Ottosen and operating out of Herslev village in Lejre Municipality, Denmark.
Mikkel Friis-Holm Ottosen, the founder of Friis-Holm, has a background as a chef.[1] In 2000, he began importing Scharffen Berger chocolate to the Danish market. The company produced its first chocolate in 2007 after he had participated in a cocoa project in Nicaragua.[2][3] The chocolate was initially produced at Bonnat's factory in France.
In 2015, Friis-Holm established its own production facility in the town Hvalsø, and moved 2019 to better facilities in the village Herslev in Lejre Municipality, Denmark.[4]
