Good morning, students. I hope you have been able to visit the museum of social history to see the exhibition,presented by the Food Industry, that is currently showing.Today’s lecture deals with the history of chocolate.(1)_______________________.Then in 1528 this was taken home by the conquering Spanish who named it chocolate.This was the first experience the Europeans had of chocolate,but by the late 1600s it had spread to most countries in Europe.In the 18th and 19th centuries,drinking chocolate became a well-established activity but it wasn’t until 1847 that Fry and Sons in England introduced “eating chocolate”.(2)_______________________.Peter’s idea was to combine some other ingredients with chocolate to balance its rough flavor.His early experiments with cheese were notoriously unsuccessful and a number of other ill-fated mixtures followed.Finally, in 1874 Peter stumbled on the perfect answer: milk.Nowadays milk chocolate is made of at least 10% chocolate mass,that is “raw” chocolate pressed from cacao nibs and 12% milk solids combined with sugar and cacao butter,which is the fat from the nibs and vanilla.It is also the type of chocolate most often eaten by children because it is less “bitter” than the dark varieties.
our knowledge of the origin of chocolate is rather weak but we're aware that ***of south America made a drink from the beans of the coco tree.
this remained much of novelty until Daniel Peter, the famed Swiss chocolate business man was inspired to try to improve the smoothness and tastes of the new confection.
