Long since fairy-tale Switzerland is known for its love for various delicacies and in particular for chocolate. It is believed that it is here that chocolate is produced of the highest quality. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was the Swiss who first decided not only to cook chocolate, but also to talk about it and its history. We decided and built a large-scale museum of chocolate near Lugano .
On a tour of the museum
The Alprose chocolate museum is located in Caslano, near Lugano. As a rule, the inspection of the museum is included in the tour of Lugano, but you can visit it on your own, the guests are always welcome here.
In the Museum of Chocolate in Switzerland you will learn a lot of new things. The museum begins with a story about the history of the delicacy and the recipe that Swiss masters have been using for many centuries. The thing is that as soon as chocolate appeared in Europe, the court chocolates tirelessly tried to find a way to improve and diversify it for monarchs. So in the chocolate began to add milk and sugar, after which it gained unprecedented popularity.
After a detailed story about the history of chocolate you will be introduced to the technology of its manufacture. And it will be done by one of the most famous Swiss masters - Mr. Ferazzini, who is also the taster of the popular delicacy. Despite his busy schedule, every day he allocates a few hets to communicate with visitors to the museum. In addition, you can try already ready chocolate with a variety of additives: pepper, salt, lemon, wine, beer and others. And after the tasting, you will be able to buy the desserts you like.
Interesting fact
Chocolate was used in liquid form as a powerful energy many centuries ago. But few of our contemporaries would like that drink because of its bitterness.
How to visit?
Go to the Museum of chocolate, located next to Lugano, on a suburban train. The final station will be called Caslano.
