Aero (chocolate bar)

A chocolate product manufactured by Nestlé

Aero is a chocolate product originally created by Rowntree's in 1935 in York, United Kingdom. It is now produced by Nestlé. The chocolate bar is known for its unique "bubbly" texture, which is created by aerating the chocolate during the manufacturing process.

History

Aero was first introduced in 1935 by Rowntree's, a confectionery company based in York, England. The product was designed to offer a new texture experience with its aerated chocolate. The original Aero bar was made with milk chocolate, and its popularity led to the introduction of various flavors and formats over the years.

In 1988, Rowntree's was acquired by Nestlé, and Aero became part of Nestlé's portfolio of confectionery products. Under Nestlé's ownership, Aero has been marketed in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and South Africa.

Varieties

Aero is available in several varieties, each offering a different flavor experience:

• Milk Chocolate Aero: The original Aero bar, made with milk chocolate.
• Mint Aero: A popular variant that combines the bubbly texture with a mint-flavored chocolate.
• Orange Aero: A version that incorporates orange-flavored chocolate.
• Aero Bubbles: Small, round pieces of Aero chocolate, available in both milk chocolate and mint flavors.

Manufacturing Process

The unique texture of Aero is achieved through a process of aeration. During production, the chocolate is mixed with air, creating bubbles within the chocolate mass. This aerated chocolate is then cooled and solidified, resulting in the distinctive bubbly texture that Aero is known for.

Marketing and Branding

Aero has been marketed with the slogan "Feel the Bubbles" to emphasize its unique texture. The brand has used various advertising campaigns over the years to highlight the sensory experience of eating Aero chocolate.
