What makes the Swiss Chocolate the best in the World?

Here is the secret of the Swiss. They simply invented and mastered the Milk Chocolate! And who was behind this perfection? No one else than Rudolph Lindt who implemented the “conching” process. This process being the fact to warm the chocolate while crushing it between the rolling spikes.

Let me tell you a bit about the Origin of chocolate!

Well we have to thank Latin America for the best gift they ever gave us. It is on their land that the first cacao plants were discovered by the Aztecs. Those believed that the Cocoa beans were a gift of the gods. The transformation of the cacao plant into chocolate was made by one of the earliest Latin America’s civilizations called the Olmec.

And with time the Cocoa beans were later discovered by the Spanish, who were amazed by its nutritional level and played a huge role in exporting it.

So yes now we all know it! Chocolate comes from cocoa beans, which are normally grown within the tropics. And nowadays, the majority of the world’s cocoa plantations are situated in West Africa.

And now that we are all set and ready lets indulge ourselves in a delicious trip to discover the BEST of the Swiss Chocolate!

3- Maison Cailler

News flash! While you can still visit Cailler Chocolaterie situated in a small town close to Lausanne, You should know that it was bought by Nestle in 1931.

What is Cailler famous for?🤔

Made with the best quality milk from the surrounding Gruyere region, Cailler wont fail to impress you. They have a large variety of its chocolates and products. The packaging is also amazing and diverse. What also makes this brand special is the fact that it’s the oldest and one of the finest Swiss chocolate yet you find its price range very affordable.

I remember saying: “OMG! Which one to choose?

What you think I didn’t take any of them?😅Of course I did! I just let my Swiss friend chose for me. But for you guys I wish you good luck!

7- Toblerone & Nestle

So our cherished Toblerone was invented back in 1908 by Theodor Todler. It became famous with its unique triangular shape. The purpose of its inventor was to give tribute to the famous Swiss Mountain the Matterhorn.

Can you imagine our daily life without a Toblerone, a Kit Kat, a Smarties or a Crunch? I bet you can’t! The swiss have made a great job by inventing those various chocolate brands. And an excellent job by introducing them to our heart!

Now you might be asking yourself: which is the best Among all those brands?

While the whole world maybe agrees on the fact that Lindt Chocolate is the best one among them all. The Swiss themselves like a lot Läderach Chocolate and many believe that Cailler is the finest Swiss chocolate. But doesn’t receive the recognition that it deserves and is not well exported. So yeah there is no brand that is the Best among the best. Each one of those is unique and priceless.

Now here you have it all! The names the specialties, the location, Everything! And as you noticed you don’t even have to go to Switzerland to have the best of what it offered us.

All you have to do is enjoy it!!!!!!
