Mekupelet (Hebrew: מקופלת) (sold in English-speaking markets as Chocolate Log[1]) is a bar of thinly folded milk chocolate produced in Israel since 1935 by Elite,[2] now a subdivision of the Strauss Group.[3][4] The Hebrew name means "folded".[3] It is known for its crumbliness and thin flakes and has been compared to the British chocolate bar known as Cadbury Flake.[2]
Mekupelet is exported to overseas markets. Mekupelet is also produced in a 'Mehadrin' version through the Magadim factory of the Strauss Group.
History
[edit]In 1992 the motto "down to the last crumb" was launched.[4]

- dark chocolate
- white chocolate
- mini-version
- extended length (XL)
- blue and white, to celebrate Israel's 55th year of existence[4]
