Does Milka chocolate always contain Alpen Milch? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Bought a Milka chocolate 100g while traveling through Germany and noticed it contains Alpen milch. Is this normal for Milka or is it only the chocolate sold in Southern Germany?

Milka is largely produced in southern germany (Lörrach) and Austria. As they source their milk locally, it would generally contain, in some (or even all) cases probably exclusively "Alpenmilch".

As others have pointed out, "Alpenmilch" is not a protected term like "Champagne", so useage varies wildly. Milka uses the definition of Alps+Alpenvorland, which is comprised of the southernmost districts of Germany. They at least used to get Milk from the Company OMIRA which sits in Ravensburg - definetly not a very alpine region, but also not too far off.

On a fair wether day you can at least see the alps from there, at least if you are up on a hill. I guess it depends on what makes the milk special, the sight of the alps, the angle of the pasture,...?
