 HENRI NESTLE (1814 - 1890) was a
latecomer to the chocolate industry. His story started with milk. But not the
milk we find on the doorstep every morning or buy in the grocer's shop. Henri
Nestle had invented the manufacture of children's groats and, in this
connection, had perfected the making of condensed milk, without which Daniel
Peter could not have industrialized his milk chocolate.
The Nestle and Peter
companies worked so closely, following the death of the two founders, that in
1905 Messrs. Peter, who had meantime joined forces with Kohler, produced, to
cater for the French taste, a very sweet chocolate developed by the Nestle
company.
