Traditionally, the most “chocolate” countries in the world Europe Belgium and Switzerland are considered. For a long time in Europe, chocolate was considered a medical remedy, mysterious overseas medicines, because it was tasteless. Only in the XVII century, it gradually began to be perceived as an expensive and refined drink of the nobility. This was made possible by the addition of new components, primarily sugar, and later milk.

Drinking chocolate began at the Spanish Royal court, then in London, and then throughout Europe. The nineteenth century was a revolution in the production of chocolate. In 1828, the engineer Conrad van Houten invented and patented a hydraulic press, which was used to extract oil from cocoa beans. In 1879, after eight years of experimentation, the Swiss Daniel Peter first released solid milk chocolate on the market. In the same year, the inventor Rudolf Lindt from Bern, having made an original device, began to produce fondat chocolate, which melted in the mouth. This chocolate was such a success that twenty years later the Zurich confectioner Rudolf Sprungli purchased the invention of Lindt for 1.5 million francs, for which you could buy 435 kilograms golden.

Листоноша-марафонець Федір Фекета

Федір Фекета (1791-1838), нащадки якого досі живуть селі Тур’я Ремета, більше 30 років пропрацював листоношою, щоденно долаючи відстань двадцять п’ять кілометрів до Ужгорода за поштою, а потім назад, в рідне село. В підсумку це п’ятдесят кілометрів щоденно – більше ніж марафонська дистанція. Йшов Федір не по дорозі (так значно довше), а по йому одному відомим […]

Nadezhda Popadyuk tells an interesting legend about this mini-sculpture in her book “Uzhgorod – the world capital of mini-sculptures”. According to this legend, chocolate first came to Ukraine back in 1921, when it was brought to Uzhgorod personally by Tomas Masaryk-the philosopher, the first President Czechoslovak Republic. He arrived by car from the city of Mikhaylovka in Juanita, where he made a short speech about the political, social and cultural prospects of the region. In zhupanati, the Czechoslovak President spoke with representatives of fifteen local institutions and organizations on a first-come, first-served basis and gave each of them a bar of chocolate. In memory of Masaryk’s visit, a mini-sculpture in the shape of a chocolate bar was installed on the stone wall of the Postal square. In August 2016, a talented Uzhgorod sculptor Mikhail Kolodko remade this sculpture, depicting it in the shape of the territory of Ukraine, as a symbol of the unity of our state, which “as if someone wants to bite off the chocolate”.
