On November 17, 1825, Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard (1797–1884) established a pâtisserie in Neuchâtel where he sold a hand-made dessert, chocolat fin de sa fabrique. The following year, Suchard founded Chocolat Suchard and moved production to nearby Serrières, where he produced 25–30kg of chocolate daily in a rented former water mill. This boat was dubbed the “Muhboot” (pronounced Moo-boat), [9] a pun on "U-Boot" (German for submarine).
