  1. VINTAGE SUITCASESwitzerland Some tradition of the country

  2. A miscellaneous country It is not obvious to find typical and well established rituals and family traditions that are popular in every Region. In Switzerland we have 4 languages and 26 Cantons, so that every Region has often his own traditions. But let’s try to find something really common…

  3. A SWEET TRADITION CALLED CHOCOLATE Chocolate has a very long history. Around 1900 BC the Mayas and others peoples were already cultivating cocoa in Central America. They used the cocoa beans to prepare a very nourishing drink, which they called "Xocolatl", from which we probably get the modern word "chocolate".

  4. The Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century were also interested in chocolate. In early 1500, they took the first cocoa to Spain, after that it became popular also in France and became a fashionable drink of the aristocracy, and from there it spread throughout the whole of Europe. But the exotic drink at that time had a very different taste from the present one. It tasted BITTER and SALTED!

  5. Then Spain added SUGAR to the recipe, as well as honey, to counteract the natural bitterness. In 1815, a Dutch chemist introduced alkaline salts to chocolate, which reduced its bitterness and he created a machine-pressed chocolate to remove about half the natural fat, which made chocolate both cheaper to produce and more consistent in quality. This innovation introduced the modern era of chocolate. Chocolate would remain a treat for the elite and the wealthy until the arrival of the Industrial Revolution brought steam-powered engines to speed the processing of the bean.

  6. The first try to invent solid chocolate had its origins in France in the years following 1830, but only in Switzerland, in the years after, JOSEPH FRY learned to make chocolate moldable by adding back melted cacao butter. A candles producer, DANIEL PETER worked with his father in law (FRANCOIS-LOUIS CAILLER, inventor of the chocolate bars) invented milk chocolate by adding powdered milk developed by HENRI NESTLE’. Then the texture and taste of chocolate was further improved when RUDOLPHE LINDT.

  7. Swiss chocolate industry is nowadays is very important to the economy of the country, Switzerland is one of the first producer and exporter of chocolate in the world. Swiss people are also the main consumer of chocolate: with 12,3 kg every year pro person!
