Ildefonso Chocolate
Sometime between 1890 and 1900 a master confectioner
at the candy manufacturer company Victor Schmidt developed the exquisite recipe for the layered
nougat cube.
It's not known whether he thought of seven layers of light and dark
nougat with a delicate chocolate coating on the top and bottom right
from the very beginning. But it was soon produced in this form - so a
suitable name had to be found for this delicious nougat cube.

Giving confectionary first names was
popular in this period. Theodor Schmidt senior had just returned from
Spain, and while describing his journey he said that one of his most
impressive experiences had been the church in Toledo that was dedicated
to the bishop St. Ildefonso. The name sounded romantic and met with the
general approval.
