Therefore, in the same year under the leadership of the merchant family Schaal, the reestablishment of the Strasburger operation as KGaA under German law (L. Schaal & Co. KGaA chocolate & cocoa plants). The factory produced chocolate, cocoa products, tea and vanilla. , most recently in 1967 in "Cie. Française d'Alimentation et de Thés ".

Compagnie Française
des Chocolats et des Thés
(France)
née au XVIIIe siècle finissant…
Cette chocolaterie compta parmi les sociétés qui, à la fin du XIXe siècle, commerçaient avec les colonies. En 1770, le Dijonnais Henri Duthu, pharmacien de son état, créa à Paris, rue Saint-Denis, un Comptoir des Thés et Chocolats, dont un atelier fabriquait du chocolat (25 à 30 livres par jour), qu’il vendait 6 à 8 francs la livre. « Il prétendait que seul un pharmacien de première classe pouvait prendre les méticuleuses précautions qu’exige cette composition. Très difficile sur le choix de ses ouvriers, qu’il voulait propres, soigneux, et qu’il lui fallait robustes, il leur faisait broyer à chacun par jour de cinq à six livres de matières. M. Duthu admirait et respectait tellement son produit qu’il proclamait indignes de l’acheter ceux qui ne possédaient pas une casserole d’argent afin de l’hydrater et une cuiller de même métal pour le remuer. », lit-on sous la plume de Julien Turgan (Les grandes usines de France, 1881). Cette reconnaissance de la valeur de Duthu ne s’était pas faite attendre. On avait déjà pu lire dans Le Moniteur du 17 mars 1791 une lettre-éloge de sa manufacture, construite à partir d’une réalité pas toujours très poétique, mais vécue :
« Au Rédacteur.
J’aime le chocolat, Monsieur, comme les anciens héros des romans aimaient leur maîtresse, malgré leurs rigueurs. Le chocolat m’a fait plus d’une fois éprouver les siennes ; j’ai essuyé des indigestions, des nausées, des coliques. C’en était, je pense, bien assez pour amener une rupture entre le chocolat et moi ; mais je ne romps avec mes amis qu’après un bien mûr examen. J’en fis un, et je reconnus que j’étais le jouet d’un ami faux, d’un chocolat factice, qu’une manipulation trop compliquée et des mélanges hétérogènes avaient rendu très malsain. Une tasse de ce mauvais chocolat peut amener des accidents graves, et, loin de répondre alors aux intentions des médecins qui en prescrivent l’usage, loin de rétablir les forces digestives de l’estomac, c’est lui-même qui contribue le plus à les détruire.
Que faire donc en pareil cas ? Ce que j’ai fait : j’ai cherché le bon chocolat, comme Diogène cherchait un homme sans défaut, recherche très inutile et très folle de sa part, très sage de la mienne. Elle m’a réussi, grâce à mon médecin, qui m’a indiqué M. Duthu, fabricant de chocolat dans cette ville, rue Saint-Denis, 272, vis-à-vis Sainte-Opportune. J’ai trouvé chez lui, en effet, un chocolat délicieux et salubre ; il m’a fait un bien indicible au milieu des ravages d’un rhume qui me minait depuis longtemps et dont les quintes violentes étaient presque toujours accompagnées d’hémorragies. Au reste, la réputation de M. Duthu est faite : je sais que son talent, la franchise de ses procédés et la solidité de ses connaissances le préservent du besoin d’être loué. Mais qu’importe ? Je me plais à lui rendre justice, dans l’espérance que le public en pourra faire son profit. » (1) Le chocolatier ne put, sans doute, que se réjouir d’une telle réclame… Son chocolat analeptique au salep de Perse, son chocolat au lichen et son chocolat gommeux, dans la confection duquel il excellait, dit-on, faisaient merveille pour requinquer les valétudinaires et les convalescents… (2)
Un homme aussi pointilleux que Duthu ne pouvait que se montrer exigeant quant au choix de son successeur. Aussi transmit-il sa chocolaterie, qui jouissait d’une grande réputation, à « un pharmacien de première classe comme lui », André Lhœst. En 1827, l’entreprise, exploitée par Lhœst, fut acquise par Pelletier, neveu de François Pelletier (3), qui s’inspira de l’expérience de son oncle pour l’équiper de machines. Le 22 septembre 1838 lui fut délivré un brevet d'invention, pour dix ans, concernant un « système de garnitures de meules à moudre, dites moulin Pelletier ». La Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés Pelletier & Cie se développa au point de compter trois usines, à Paris, à Londres et à Strasbourg. En 1862, elle fut promue fournisseur de la princesse de Galles, future reine Victoria, et elle remporta une médaille d’argent lors de l’exposition de Paris, en 1867. Dans son rapport sur le Matériel de la chocolaterie (section III, Exposition universelle de 1867 à Paris. Rapports du jury international), le baron Thénard rend hommage à l’invention de Pelletier : « une broyeuse montée en forme de meules de moulin, précieuse pour les chocolats fins, dont elle empêche l’arôme de s’évaporer ». À l’époque, l’affaire, devenue en 1853 société en commandite par actions, était entre les mains des fils de Pelletier, Auguste et Eugène. « Les liens avec les États allemands étaient déjà solidement noués : la Compagnie fournissait les 750 coopératives d’outre-Rhin, séduits par l’idée de l’association et de coopérative telle que les frères Pelletier l’avaient développée. Pour Auguste, il fallait franchir la nouvelle frontière et se rapprocher de S..................
-----------------------------------
This chocolate factory was one of the companies which, at the end of the 19th century, traded with the colonies. In 1770, the Dijonnais Henri Duthu, pharmacist by profession, created in Paris, rue Saint-Denis, a Comptoir des Thés et Chocolats, whose workshop produced chocolate (25 to 30 pounds per day), which he sold 6 to 8 francs per pound. “He claimed that only a first-class pharmacist could take the meticulous precautions that this composition demands. Very difficult about the choice of his workers, whom he wanted clean, careful, and whom he needed robust, he had them each grind five to six pounds of material a day. Mr. Duthu admired and respected his product so much that he declared those unworthy to buy it who did not possess a silver pan to hydrate it and a silver spoon to stir it. “, we read from the pen of Julien Turgan (The great factories of France, 1881). This recognition of the value of Duthu was not long in coming. We had already been able to read in Le Moniteur of March 17, 1791 a letter of praise from his factory, built from a reality that was not always very poetic, but experienced:
“To the Editor.
I love chocolate, sir, as the old heroes of novels loved their mistress, despite their harshness. Chocolate has made me experience hers more than once; I suffered from indigestion, nausea, colic. It was, I think, quite enough to bring about a rupture between the chocolate and me; but I only break with my friends after a very mature examination. I made one, and I recognized that I was the toy of a false friend, of a fake chocolate, which too complicated handling and heterogeneous mixtures had rendered very unhealthy. A cup of this bad chocolate can lead to serious accidents, and, far from responding to the intentions of the doctors who prescribe its use, far from restoring the digestive forces of the stomach, it is itself which contributes the most to destroy them.
So what to do in such a case? What I did: I searched for the right chocolate, as Diogenes searched for a flawless man, a very useless and very mad search on his part, very wise on mine. It worked for me, thanks to my doctor, who told me about M. Duthu, a chocolate manufacturer in this town, rue Saint-Denis, 272, opposite Sainte-Opportune. I found at his place, in fact, a delicious and wholesome chocolate; it did me indescribable good amidst the ravages of a cold which had plagued me for a long time and whose violent fits were almost always accompanied by haemorrhages. For the rest, M. Duthu's reputation is made: I know that his talent, the frankness of his methods and the solidity of his knowledge preserve him from the need of being praised. But whatever ? I am happy to do him justice, in the hope that the public will be able to benefit from it. (1) The chocolate maker could no doubt be delighted with such an advertisement... wonderful to perk up valetudinarians and convalescents... (2)
A man as fastidious as Duthu could only be exacting when it came to the choice of his successor. So he passed on his chocolate factory, which enjoyed a great reputation, to “a first-class pharmacist like him”, André Lhœst. In 1827, the company, operated by Lhœst, was acquired by Pelletier, nephew of François Pelletier (3), who drew inspiration from his uncle's experience to equip it with machinery. On September 22, 1838, he was granted a patent of invention, for ten years, concerning a “system of fittings for millstones, known as the Pelletier mill”. The Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés Pelletier & Cie developed to the point of having three factories, in Paris, London and Strasbourg. In 1862, she was promoted to supplier to the Princess of Wales, future Queen Victoria, and won a silver medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1867. In her report on Chocolate Equipment (section III, Exposition Universal of 1867 in Paris. Reports of the international jury), Baron Thénard pays tribute to Pelletier's invention: "a grinder mounted in the shape of millstones, precious for fine chocolates, the aroma of which it prevents from evaporate". At the time, the business, which in 1853 became a partnership limited by shares, was in the hands of Pelletier's sons, Auguste and Eugène. “Links with the German states were already firmly established: the Company supplied the 750 cooperatives across the Rhine, seduced by the idea of ​​the association and cooperative as the Pelletier brothers had developed it. For Auguste, it was necessary to cross the new border and get closer to S..................
