A brief history of Swiss Chocolate:
... in 1819 François-Louis Cailler opened the first chocolate factory of Switzerland in Corsier-sur-Vevey
... in 1867 Heinrich (Henri) Nestlé created the milk powder, later the condensed milk in Vevey (Nestlé has its headquarters still in Vevey)
... in 1875 Daniel Peter (son-in-law of François-Louis Cailler) made the first milk chocolate using Nestlé's condensed milk
