Bendicks
Bendicks is a chocolate brand currently owned by August Storck KG, famed for its "quintessentially British" ''Bittermint'' dark mint chocolates, still made to the original recipe of 1931. History In 1930 Oscar Benson and Colonel 'Bertie' Dickson purchased a small confectionery business at 164 Church street in Kensington, London, with the chocolates made in a tiny basement below the shop. They used the first syllable of each of their surnames to come up with the name Bendicks. In 1931 Benson's sister-in-law, Lucia Benson, came up with a dark chocolate so bitter that it was virtually inedible on its own, and combined it with a mint fondant that was so strongly flavoured with mint oil that it was also difficult to eat on its own. When the two parts were combined they produced a very palatable chocolate that they named Bendicks Bittermints. The chocolate coating contains 95% cocoa solids. By 1933, Bendicks was developing a reputation for quality and a new store was opened in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
