said by dave :I vaguely recall reading that the Dutch or English had the chocolate process sewn up with patents, so Hershey was forced to invent something else. it was the Swiss i believe that had the Milk Chocolate process sewn up (not with patents but rather trade secrets) when he developed his process in the last decade of the 19th Century (mass production began in 1900 iiuc)
Cadbury didn't launch a product to rival Swiss milk chocolate until 1905 ("Dairy Milk")
said by dave :Interesting page: said by »www.rps.psu.edu/0009/chocolate.html :Hershey's purposefully puts their chocolate through controlled lipolysis, giving it that unique flavor. Because of this, most Europeans don't like Hershey's chocolate — but Americans do. Mmm, butyric acid. Luvverly. as found in Parmesan Cheese iiuc
i'm intrigued now as to how it changes the taste, but as the only place i've found that sells them here wants £1.09 plus shipping for a 43g bar i think i'll pass
