Download Chocolate Wars: The 150-Year Rivalry Between the World's Greatest Chocolate Makers AudioBook Free
With a cast of heroes that wouldnt be out of place in a Victorian book, Chocolate Wars tells the story of the great chocolatier dynasties, through the prism of the Cadburys. Chocolate was consumed unrefined and unprocessed as a fairly bitter, oily drink for the wealthy elite before late 19th century, when the Swiss learned ways to combine it with dairy and unleashed a product that would conquer every market in the world. Thereafter, one of the great global business rivalries unfolded as each chocolate maker attemptedto dominate its domestic market and innovate new formulas for chocolate that could set it apart from its rivals. The contest was packed with remarkable contradictions: The Cadburys were austere Quakers who found themselves making millions from an indulgent product; Kitty Hershey could hardly have been more flamboyant yet her spouse was migrated by the Cadburys tradition of philanthropy. Each was a product of their unique time and place yet they distributed one thing: they want to make the best chocolate in the world.
