History of chocolate

Chocolate arrived in Belgium via the port of Antwerp in the 17th century. The region was a Spanish colony at that time: the Spanish Netherlands, whose capital was Brussels. The chocolate drink, brought from the Americas a century earlier, was highly prized in Europe’s royal courts.

But it wasn’t until the 19th century that chocolate as we know it today became widely available. Thanks to industrialisation, the mills used to extract the cocoa butter from the beans were gradually replaced by steam engines. This made it easier to produce cocoa mass in large quantities. Across the whole of Europe, chocolate makers set up in business: in England, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands.
In 1828, the Dutchman Van Houten began producing cocoa powder. The chocolate tablet was invented by the Frenchman Menier in 1836. In 1876, Peter of Switzerland, who would go on to join forces with Nestlé, came up with the idea of adding milk powder to chocolate. Neuhaus claims the credit for the first Belgian chocolate, created in 1912. Belgian chocolate was born!
