Van Houten Ground White Chocolate - White Chocolate Milk - 750 grams

Few brands can boast a legacy that spans as long as 190 years. Since 1828, Van Houten has been crafting, innovating, and pushing the boundaries of chocolate making. Coenraad van Houten himself pioneered the development of cocoa presses, and his son later invented the "dutching" process. This transformed cocoa from bitter powders into the tasty, smooth, and easily soluble cocoa and chocolate drinks you enjoy today. And Van Houten is far from finished with its innovations.

Finest cocoa powders - a bean-to-cup journey spanning over 190 years

Van Houten's story began in 1815 when Casparus Van Houten opened a chocolate factory in Amsterdam. Cocoa beans were ground into a fine powder, then mixed with milk to create a chocolate drink or combined with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to make biscuits.

In 1828, Casparus invented the hydraulic cocoa press, which separated the cocoa butter from the drink to produce a lighter and more nutritious cocoa powder. His son, Coenraad, inherited his father's passion for cocoa and went on to invent the renowned Dutching process, which alkalised cocoa to enhance its flavour and solubility.
