Caffarel
Caffarel is an Italian chocolate manufacturer that was founded in 1826 by Pierre Paul Caffarel. The company is renowned for its high-quality chocolates and is particularly known for its invention of gianduja, a sweet chocolate spread containing about 30% hazelnut paste, which was invented during Napoleon's reign.
History[edit | edit source]
Caffarel was established in Turin, Italy, in 1826 by Pierre Paul Caffarel. The company started as a small shop but quickly expanded due to the high demand for its products. In 1865, Caffarel introduced gianduja, a chocolate spread made from hazelnuts and cocoa, which became a staple in Italian cuisine.
Products[edit | edit source]
Caffarel's product range includes a variety of chocolates, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. The company also produces a range of gianduja products, including gianduja spread and gianduja chocolates. Other products include chocolate bars, pralines, and seasonal chocolates for occasions like Easter and Christmas.
Caffarel and Gianduja[edit | edit source]
Caffarel is credited with the invention of gianduja, a sweet chocolate spread made from hazelnuts and cocoa. The spread was invented during the reign of Napoleon when the British blockade resulted in a shortage of cocoa beans. To extend their supply, Caffarel started adding hazelnuts to their chocolate, creating a new product that quickly became popular.
