When is National Chocolate Day? But before it was ever made into a sweet candy, it was ground into a drink. The beverage was used for medical purposes in the ruling class family tradition.
Coenraad Van Houten, a Dutch chemist and chemist, invented a way to produce chocolate in solid form in 1828. His hydraulic press made it possible to remove the cocoa butter from the cacao. His invention leads to the production of a powder that opens the way for the first chocolate confections. We're grateful to Van Houten for the variety of chocolates we enjoy today.
