Stop everything, because healthier milk chocolate has finally been invented. Cadbury Europe, who have been working on the product for two years, enlisted a team of scientists, nutritionists and chocolatiers to create the low-sugar version. They discovered that by replacing much of the sugar with fibre, the chocolate retained the same taste and texture as the original, without the need for artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. The calories will stay the same sad face.
In , a Swiss manufacturer called Daniel Peter added milk to his recipe to make the first milk chocolate bar. However Daniel Peter was still way ahead of them — using condensed milk rather than powdered milk to produce a chocolate with a superior taste and texture.
Another Swiss manufacturer invented the conching machine in This refined chocolate, giving it the smooth texture we know today. Swiss milk chocolate dominated the British market — a situation the Cadbury family set out to challenge in the 20th Century.
The first Cadbury Easter egg was made in The earliest eggs were made with dark chocolate and had a smooth, plain surface. Later Easter eggs were decorated and had their plain shells enhanced with chocolate piping and marzipan flowers. When the Bridge Street factory became too small, George Cadbury had a new vision of the future.
His vision was shared by his brother Richard, and they began searching for a very special site for their new factory. When Cadbury started making Cocoa Essence they had lots of cocoa butter left over, so they used it to make bars of chocolate!
Made of milk powder paste, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar, the first Cadbury milk chocolate bar was coarse and dry and not sweet or milky enough to be a big hit. Cadbury produced some of the finest examples of posters and press advertisements during this period. A popular local artist, Cecil Aldin, was commissioned to illustrate for Cadbury.
His evocative images featured in early magazine campaigns and graced poster sites all over the country. Swiss manufacturers were leading the field in milk chocolate, with much better products than their rivals. In , George Cadbury Jnr was given the challenge to develop a milk chocolate bar with more milk than anything else on the market. Dairy Milk was launched in June It was sold in unwrapped blocks that could be broken down into penny bars.
By the early s it had taken over the UK market. Cadbury Dairy Milk has become what's known as a 'megabrand', hugely popular and available in many different varieties, all over the world.
In William Cadbury commissioned the first Cadbury logo. He was in Paris at the time and chose Georges Auriol to create the design - Auriol also designed the signs for the Paris Metro. The logo was an image of a stylised cocoa tree interwoven with the Cadbury name.
Registered in , it was used on presentation boxes, catalogues, tableware and promotional items, and imprinted onto the aluminium foil that was used to wrap moulded chocolate bars. Although we might not recognise it today, it was used consistently from and again after the Second World War. At first, Cadbury resisted creating an alkalised cocoa a product made less bitter by adding harmless carbonate of potash having emphasised the purity of their own cocoa.
But, eventually, the company realised that alkalised cocoa was the future and created Bournville Cocoa. Bournville chocolate was launched in It was named after the Bournville factory where it was made, and was originally launched just as a plain chocolate bar. This luxurious treat was flavoured with genuine Otto of Roses and moulded without starch for a smoother finish. It was particularly well known in the s and s through popular TV advertising, which tended to involve mysterious ladies in exotic desert settings.
Boxes of chocolates had been produced at Cadbury since the s, but they were expensive, sold in small quantities and would only have been bought for very special occasions. Milk Tray was different - a chocolate assortment, affordable enough to be an everyday treat.
The name Milk Tray originated from how the chocolates were sold. They would be put out in trays - one Milk Tray and the other known as Plain Tray - to sell to customers. By the mid s it was outselling all its competitors. Later, in the packaging was made more sophisticated and in a William Morris-style pack was introduced. In it changed again to an elegant pack with a white orchid on the purple background.
Today, over eight million boxes are sold every year. Cadbury bought Frys in and the company grew, producing delicous chocolate on a grand scale, so it could be enjoyed by everyone. Cadbury already had close links with J. They were chocolate bars with different centres - Crunchie, Fudge and Picnic are all tasty examples -and got their name because they were sold by bar, not by weight.
At its launch in , Cadbury Dairy Milk started out in pale mauve with red script, in a continental style 'parcel wrap. The full Dairy Milk range became purple and gold in The 'crumbliest flakiest chocolate' was first developed in A canny Cadbury employee noticed that, when the excess from chocolate moulds was drained off, it fell in a stream and created flaky, folded chocolate. From that simple observation came a mouth-watering new chocolate bar!
It started off as a Cadbury Dairy Milk product with a see-through wrapper. Chocolate was considered essential for the Armed Forces and civilians. Rationing finally ended in In Cadbury merged with Schweppes to form Cadbury Schweppes. Schweppes was a well-known British brand that manufactured carbonated mineral water and soft drinks. Schweppes Beverages was created, and the manufacture of Cadbury confectionery brands was licensed to Hershey.
Today Cadbury Schweppes is the largest confectionery company in the world, employing more than 70, employees. In March of , Cadbury Scheweppes announced that it intends to separate its confectionery and beverage businesses. With almost years in the business, Cadbury Schweppes will continue to prosper in the coming decades. Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to know about exclusive offers!
