Cola Cao

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Cola Cao is a popular chocolate drink powder produced by the Spanish company Idilia Foods. It was first introduced in Spain in 1945 and has since become a staple in Spanish households, often consumed as a breakfast or snack beverage.

History

Cola Cao was created by the Spanish company Idilia Foods, formerly known as Nutrexpa. The product was launched in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. The company aimed to provide a nutritious and affordable product that could help combat the malnutrition prevalent in post-war Spain.

Composition

The main ingredients of Cola Cao are sugar, cocoa powder, and wheat flour. It also contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, and vitamins like Vitamin D and Vitamin B1. The product is known for its characteristic lumps of undissolved chocolate, which are a result of the use of natural cocoa.

Preparation and Consumption

Cola Cao is typically prepared by mixing the powder with hot or cold milk. It can also be used as an ingredient in various desserts and baked goods. In Spain, it is often consumed for breakfast or as a snack, and is particularly popular among children.

Cultural Impact

Cola Cao has had a significant cultural impact in Spain. The product's jingle, "Yo soy aquel negrito del Africa Tropical", has become a well-known part of Spanish popular culture. The brand has also been a sponsor of various sports events, including the Olympic Games.
