Cocio was born as a favorite classic drink in Denmark last 1951. Anker Pallesen had a vision of making the best chocolate milk in the world together with his wife Ella. It was born with 3 natural ingredients: milk, cocoa and sugar. It slowly popularized that in 1964, they had to look for a bigger manufacturing plant to cater the clamor of its loyal drinkers. In 1974, the in can version was introduced and it reached out more people in the process. American Borden Group bought the company at 1976 but it was procured back at 1999 by a Danish company. In 2001, Cocio sold and produced 800,000 cans & bottles per day. In 2008, it was sold to Arla, one of the leading dairy company in Denmark. It is available in 8 European countries namely Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Greece.
The brand was made available in the Philippine shores last September 2015. Currently, there are two flavors available: Cocio Classic (original chocolate milk) and Cocio Dark (dark chocolate).
Did you know that the recipe of Cocio is still the same since it was first produced in 1951?
What I really like about Cocio Classic is that it brings back childhood memories. It’s tradition meets modern: traditional great taste in a modern labeled glass bottle. What else can you ask for? For Cocio Dark, it reminds me of rainy days where you enjoy a nice warm chocolate drink while watching the raindrops in your window. The richness of the cocoa flavor unleashes on every sip.
You can enjoy your favorite Cocio drink while watching a movie, strolling at the mall or just simply in your office space / classroom. It’s simple. No additives nor preservatives. Nothing but great taste! It’s a personal favorite by The Tennis Foodie. I personally like both flavors but Cocio Dark really left a mark. This is an ACE for me while Cocio Classic is a HIT. So I guess I’m Team Cocio Dark then.

Yummy dark chocolate milk…will include in my brkfast…thanks for sharing
My kids loved this in Denmark!!! Best ever 🙂
You just made me crave one of these! Too bad it’s not available where I live 🙁
I’ve never tried Cocio. I used to live in Belguim and it wasn’t a thing there, but I’ve heard about it. I wonder if I’d like it or hate it. Is it one of those foods that people either love or hate?
Mmm this sounds really nice! I would be team classic I think. Don’t think you can get this in then UK which is a shame!
Yum I’m totally sold but I don’t think they sell it here. It sounds delicious!
I absolutely love getting one of these cool drinks. I personally prefer Cocio Dark.
I’ve never heard of this brand. Been a fan of dark chocolate, the dark one intrigues me.
Oh yum! I love everything chocolate so I need to try this asap. Chocolate drinks can really satisfy the sweet tooth while being refreshing – it’s a great combo!
I had such a bad experience with choco milk when I was a kid that I haven’t had any since. Talk about childhood drama!
This sounds delicious! I’ve had dark hot chocolate before, but never dark chocolate milk. My son would love this, too.
I have never had dark chocolate drinks. Am intrigued to try out.
This sounds absolutely delicious and delightful! I will have to find this for my kids,,, they will love this!
I have never heard of Cocio. It definitely looks like a fantastic drink though.
I need to visit the 7/11 storr and try it myself. Thankf you for the heads-up!
Oh this looks lovely, I love the sound of the dark chocolate one. I haven’t seen these before but I will definitely keep my eyes peeled in the store to give them a go 🙂
I love anything Dark Chocolate, I wonder if we can get it here in the US somehow. I went to there site and didn’t see a USA option. May have to see if we can import it!
My kids love chocolate milk. I am happy to find another brand to try with them that I will probably like too!
Never had dark chocolate milk before. But I would love to try it out then milk chocolate of this brand.
Chocolate milk does remind me of childhood! Also that’s crazy that it hasn’t changed since 1951!
I’ve been seeing this product a lot lately but always forget to buy or try it. It looks so delicious. I will make sure to buy this next time.
I must give this a try! although not sure I can get it in the UK.
I thought this is just recently produced, ang tagal na pala. I’d love to try this one.
Yummy! A nice cold delicious chocolate milk would totally hit the spot. I have yet to try this brand but will look into it.
I am going to find this and give it a try. I love chocolate drinks and that dark chocolate one is a first for me. Yum.
This reminds me of that chocolate drink I enjoyed as a kid. (Chocolait and ChocoVim). I need to get some of them Cocio soon. Nothing beats a great tasting chocolate drink!
Oh my gosh, the Cocio Dark looks SO delicious! I have to see if the 7-11 shops here in Toronto have them, too.
I’ve never heard of this before. We are huge fans of chocolate milk, so I’m sure we’d enjoy this.
So that is something new for me to try – dark chocolate milk! Thanks for sharing the info on Cocio! Want to get some now!
Cocio sounds delicious! I love the fact that they have stayed true to their original recipe. So many of my favorites are no longer recognizable from their beginning, it’s refreshing to see one company that’s held on to their roots.
The range is nice & seems a very tasty drink.Will try out when I go abroad as this is not available in our place.
I’ve never heard of this drink. Looks delicious though and it’s sold it a lot of stores near me.
That’s one of my all-time favorite drink! So delicious!
I’m definitely a milk chocolate anything over dark chocolate. I prefer the creamy flavor. I’d love to try this drink too!
This reminds me of a YooHoo! Which used to be one of my favorite drinks growing up. I would love to try the dark chocolate.
Never heard of Cocio. Looks like an adult version of Yo-hoo!
I’ve not heard of this drink before. I love chocolate and I’m sure my kids would love this!
I have never had this before! Is it like Milo? Who doesn’t love a coco based drink?
I love Cocio and I prefer the Classic one. I had no idea that they have been in the market for so long and has maintained the same recipe. It’s nice to know the history of one of my favorite drinks. Thank you for sharing.
