The combination of milk and chocolate has a truly long history, one of the most classic combinations, both in the drink version, that is milk with cocoa powder and in the solid milk chocolate version. Naturally the drink comes first, let's not forget that solid chocolate was born only in 1800 and only in the second half of that century did large-scale production begin, previously when we talk about chocolate or chocolate we always talk about cocoa drink. Of course, as soon as the process for producing solid chocolate was invented, people immediately began to try to produce it in versions with other added ingredients because that is what was already done with the drink and therefore milk chocolate was born in those same years, as soon as chocolate was born.
And then a historical curiosity about who was the first to think of adding cocoa to milk, there are several versions: some say that the inhabitants of Jamaica already drank a drink with milk, cocoa and cinnamon, but as we know the Spanish learned about cocoa through the Aztecs who drank a drink made of hot water and cocoa and possibly other added flavors. So according to most sources, the invention of the modern version would be the work of some Spaniard who, not liking the indigenous drink, had the idea of putting cocoa in milk, in fact it seems obvious that milk tempered the bitter taste of cocoa in a way that water could not.
Today, milk chocolate is particularly loved by children for its sweet taste that is the result of both the low percentage of cocoa, the fact that sugar is usually added, the intrinsic qualities of milk and for the greater softness compared to dark chocolate. In this bar, the added sugar is fine cane sugar and all the ingredients are organic.
