== Caffarel and Gianduja ==<br />
<br />
Caffarel is credited with the invention of ''gianduja'', a sweet chocolate spread made from hazelnuts and cocoa. The spread was invented during the reign of Napoleon when the British blockade resulted in a shortage of cocoa beans. To extend their supply, Caffarel started adding hazelnuts to their chocolate, creating a new product that quickly became popular.<br />
