Poradnik - Jak pozbyć się pryszczy po Ferrero Rocher?
The addition of hazelnuts came from war shortages
Pietro Ferrero was the visionary behind all of this. Forbes explains how he settled into Alba after a brief stint in Eastern Africa in the 1930s to try and supply baked goods to the Italian soldiers stationed there. Once back in his native Piedmont he tried to make the best of the shortages of wartime Italian supplies and decided to try to cut some of the cocoa –- which was hard to get and expensive -– with a more easily obtainable substitute.
The original was a more solid mixture that Ferrero sold in blocks to Italians excited to have a treat in the midst of the war. Once the war ended and Italy put itself back together again, he was able to build a steady and successful business. His brother, Giovanni, had a history in the food wholesale business and he helped his brother put together his organization.

Ferrero’s most famous products are undoubtedly their iconic Ferrero Rocher chocolates. The Ferrero Candy line mainly revolves around hazelnuts and almonds. The candy is famous for its multiple layers. And almost all sweets have a delicious, sweet filling of various creams.
The famous Ferrero Confectionery line includes Ferrero Rocher, Confetteria Raffaello, Ferrero Kusschen, Ferrero Rondnoir, Ferrero Pocket Coffee, and others.
Ferrero Mon Cheri
Mon Cheri is one of the most famous brands of the Ferrero Company. This Italian chocolate candy is everything one could ask for. It has a cherry flavor that floats in the liquor and is surrounded by delectable dark chocolate.
The candy has pinkish-red wrappers. “Mon Cheri” is translated from French as “My Darling”. This retro candy was created in 1956 in Italy, and since 1960 it has been marketed in France and the UK. In the US market, Mon Cheri had hazelnuts but did not contain liqueur. So, it was kind of similar to Ferrero Kusschen.
Ferrero Rocher
Ferrero’s signature candy is the original Ferrero Rocher. A thin wafer shell filled with chocolate and roasted hazelnuts. The main ingredients are milk chocolate, sugar, cocoa, skim milk, cocoa butter, and vanillin.
At the beginning of the production process, the two flat wafer sheets with the hemispheres are filled with chocolate and hazelnut cream and whole hazelnuts. Then the wafers are transferred and clamped together, creating the ball of candy. Spheres are dipped in the chocolate and chopped hazelnuts, and the last layer is the milk chocolate. After the process is done, the candy ball is wrapped in the prominent gold foil.
The company has become a major player in the international candy market
Ferrero has grown larger and larger over the years. The company has been involved in several business acquisitions and deals, including a failed attempt at preventing Kraft from taking ownership of the U.K.'s Cadbury chocolate company.
Other acquisitions over the years have included various brands previously owned by Kellog such as Keebler and Famous Amos (according to Business Insider). In addition, it has also absorbed Thornton's chocolates in the U.K. and the rights to make some of the Girl Scout cookies in the States. The company has come very far from its quiet, Alpine origins
The creamy layer of filling within the spherical wafer is none other than the best thing to happen to morning toast. The rich, melting texture of the interior is a perfect foil to the crispness of the wafer and the crunchy hazelnuts. It does make sense that the makers of such a delicious product would find a way to work it into as many of its products as possible.
