Karl Otto Fazer (Finland Swedish pronunciation: [ˈkɑːrl ˈutːo ˈfat͡sær], 16 August 1866 – 9 October 1932) was a Finnish chocolatier and sport shooter.[1][2]

Biography

He was born in Helsinki. He had four children and was the grandfather of Peter Fazer. His father, Eduard Peter Fazer (originally Fatzer), was a Swiss-born furrier.

Fazer studied baking in Berlin, Paris, and Saint Petersburg before becoming a pioneer of Finnish confectionery. Together with his wife Berta he opened a French-Russian confectionery at Glogatan (Kluuvikatu) 3 in Helsinki on 17 September 1891. Later, he opened a chocolate and candy factory in Punavuori.

Fazer, the company he founded, is still in existence. Many of its products have become classic. This is particularly true of the Fazer Blue (Finnish: Fazerin Sininen, Swedish: Fazer Blå), a brand of chocolate that is often compared to salmiakki, as a candy that is a part of the Finnish national identity.

Fazer established bird protection areas in the Åland archipelago and on the lands of the Taubila farm he bought in 1918 in Pyhäjärvi, Vyborg County, Karelia. He brought pheasants to Finland and owned a pheasant farm near Helsinki at the beginning of the 20th century.

Fazer died in 1932 at the age of 66 after suffering a heart attack on a hunting trip in Jokioinen.

1912 Olympics

Fazer was an excellent marksman who participated in the Olympic Games in 1912 with the Finnish shooting team. He placed twelfth in men's trap and fifth in men's team trap.
