Chocolate Biscuits & Cookies

The pastry differentiated from the bakery in Egypt when fats and sweet products were added to bread : this is how pastry was created. It kept developing during the following centuries. The time of the Crusades imported spices such as cinnamon which were immediately used to make cookies. At the time, biscuits were mainly consumed by sailors because it kept better than bread.

Then the triangular trade made it possible to introduce products such as vanilla, chocolate or even coffee. New varieties of cookies were created, regional specialities developed... This phenomenon intensified with the industrialization of the 19th century when new biscuits factories emerged and became increasingly famous.
