In 1765, the cacao press was first introduced. This revolutionary machine allowed cocoa beans to be squeezed to extract cocoa butter, which resulted in a powder known as cocoa press cake. This cocoa press cake would later become a crucial ingredient in the creation of chocolate wafers.
In 1817, a Swiss chocolatier named François-Louis Cailler invented the conching machine. This machine mechanically stirred and mixed chocolate for extended periods, resulting in a smoother and silkier texture. The invention of the conching process elevated the quality and taste of chocolate, laying the foundation for the creation of chocolate wafers.
The year 1901 marked the birth of the iconic chocolate wafer. It was in this year that Nabisco, then known as the National Biscuit Company, introduced the world to the chocolate wafer cookie. These thin, crispy wafers were made by baking a dough composed of chocolate and other ingredients. The chocolate wafer quickly gained popularity among consumers, offering a delightful combination of crunchiness and chocolatey goodness.
