There’s no denying that chocolate is an everyday consumer favorite, with sales totaling $21.9B in 2020, according to the National Confectioners Association. But did you know that until the 1800s, chocolate was an extravagance only experienced by the elite? Though expense was a factor, chocolate wasn’t available to the masses because it was labor-intensive to process the beans and create the final product. Mass manufacturing helped bring our favorite confection to the world.
With Labor Day upon us (September 6 this year) we are honoring the innovators who put in all the hard work to make chocolate manufacturing what it is today. Read our timeline of major chocolate manufacturing milestones and count the familiar names.
