Just like royalty, the McVitie’s Chocolate company presents itself as a brand that only offers the best when it comes to its snacks. In fact, Queen Elizabeth II herself recognizes just how excellent the food from this confectionary company is! Let us learn more of this brand below!
The Beginning of Confectionary Excellence
Everything began when Robert McVitie and his father decided to open up a simple confectionary shop in Edinburgh in 1835. Even when his father decided to pursue another line of work, Robert continued running the shop.
Seeing the potential of the enterprise, he made sure that his two sons, Robert Jr. and William, will have the necessary tools, resources, and knowledge on how to keep the family business afloat.
And what a nice and promising gesture was that. Even after Robert’s death, the two brothers continued running the bakery, to the acclaim of Edinburgh locals. The baked goods of the McVitie’s shop was so appealing, that the owners decided to expand.
And considering that they’re products are now a household name (not only in Edinburgh, but the entire country!), the family continued to pool its efforts in making the brand succeed.
Through the year, the McVitie’s brand is not only known for its excellent confectionary products – one particular creation does stand out from the rest.
Sir Alexander Grant, who worked with the bakery, came up with a revolutionary recipe that resulted into a product that is still enjoyed today. Using the same recipe, the McVitie’s digestive biscuits were such a hit!
Considering its success, it was no wonder that the McVitie’s brand would be acknowledged by royalty. The attention to detail and the passionate process in creating each and every of their products were loved by the Queen herself!
The brand’s relationship with the Crown was strong, that the McVitie’s brand actually made the wedding cake for Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten!
