The 5 most sold chocolates by Bell Italia

Today we will find out which are the 5 best selling Italian chocolates from Bell Italia to its customers all over the world. The main ingredient of chocolate, cocoa, does not originate in our country. In fact, it was born in the regions of Central America and seems to have been known and cultivated since the time of the Maya civilization, about three thousand years ago. The Indios considered cocoa beans to be very precious and attributed them a symbolic and religious value. Not surprisingly, chocolate was called “the food of the gods” and its consumption was allowed only to kings, nobles and warriors.

Chocolate: from Christopher Columbus to the present day

The link between Europe and chocolate is due to Christopher Columbus, considered the first European man to have tasted it. The subsequent Spanish domination in central-southern America contributed, then, to the spread of cocoa in the Old Continent around the middle of the 1500s. The first Italian chocolate productions date back to the following century, in particular in Florence, Venice and Turin. And indeed it was in Venice that the so-called “coffee shops” were born, forerunners of modern bars, which also offered chocolate to their customers. The addition of sugar and vanilla had significantly improved the taste of this product, making it highly appreciated and contributing to its diffusion.

The digits… of chocolate today

Today the consumption of chocolate in the world has reached stratospheric figures. Over seven million tons per year, for a total turnover near 30 billion dollars. In a market dominated by American multinationals, Italy does its part, focusing mainly on the excellence of its products. Considering that in our country the consumption of chocolate per capita is definitely low (just 4 kg per year compared to Switzerland’s 9 kg / year and Germany’s 8 kg / year, just for reference), it is easy to understand how export represents a very important resource for Italian chocolate.

The success of Kinder Cioccolato was not long in coming. Today it is produced both in Alba (Piedmont) and in various international factories of the group. It is available in different formats and variants: among these, Kinder Maxi, a slightly larger bar than the classic one, is much appreciated.
