Condensed Milk Dominates Swiss Industry Output
Switzerland leads the world in condensed milk production with 15,000 cows needed to meet output. In 1888 exports reached 11,770 tons, about 620,000 boxes or 25,000,000 zinc, while domestic consumption remained small. Major factories include Nestle, Anglo-Swiss, and Lapp, with Henri Nestle as pioneer. Cheese-free process steps, sugar addition, vacuum condensation, and strict composition ranges are outlined. Export markets span South America, India, and China, boosted by sugar duty drawbacks since 1890.
