Did you know that Coenraad Johannes van Houten invented a hydraulic press to improve the quality of chocolate drink?
Van Houten’s press gave him a solid mass which could be ground to powder, from which he made easily soluble, easily digestible and – relatively – easily affordable cocoa.
The press left him with a lot of cocoa butter. It was this by-product which became the basis for the solid chocolate developed some 20 years later by Englishman Joseph Fry, who mixed it back into the cocoa paste.
