Daniel Peter Biography
Daniel Peter (1836-1919) was a famous Swiss chocolate entrepreneurs. He began his career as a candle maker, but his efforts did not last long when replacing oil lamps.



Peter then created a process to make milk chocolate. He had difficulty in removing water from milk, so consequently moldy milk. Together with Henri Nestlé, a baby food entrepreneur, he finally managed to put it into the market in 1875, after seven years of hard work. Later, in 1879, they form the Nestlé Company.
