DID YOU KNOW?
The distinctive purple packaging was originally introduced as a tribute to Queen Victoria.
The Beginning of Cadbury
The story started in 1824 when John Cadbury opened a grocer’s shop in Birmingham. Being a devout Quaker, John didn’t drink alcohol; he preferred the sweet taste of hot chocolate. He prepared this treat himself, grinding the ingredients in a pestle and mortar to share with his discerning clientele.
Inspired by Swiss chocolatiers, George Cadbury Jr. was challenged to create a bar with more milk than any other on the market. While the Swiss used condensed milk for sweetness, British versions used milk powder. George succeeded, and when a customer's daughter suggested the name 'Dairy Milk', it was an instant hit.
How It's Made: Bean to Bar
Cadbury sources cocoa from Ghana. The beans are fermented to develop flavor, dried, and shipped to North Wales. There, beans are roasted and ground into cocoa mass.
The cocoa mass is mixed with sugar and fresh full-fat milk to create "Cadbury Crumb." At Bournville, this crumb is rolled, tempered, and moulded. Fun Fact: The factory can wrap 64,800 bars of Dairy Milk in just one hour!
