(Girona) Here in Girona there is a large Nestlé plant. This is where Nescafè is produced.

As an outsider it is a pleasant scent, as a resident it is likely to be rather penetrating over the years.

Below is a very interesting report on the development of Nescafè.

Nescafé is a soluble coffee (instant coffee) from Nestlé. With a brand value of 14.8 billion Swiss francs, it is the most valuable brand in Switzerland.

In 1930, the Brazilian government approached the Swiss company Nestlé for the first time with questions about the possible preservation of coffee. In 1930, Brazilian coffee growers harvested so much coffee that it was burned in large quantities along the entire coast or dumped into the sea to prevent the price from falling on the world market. At that time, the company, which was still small and young, had already made a name for itself in the field of preservation by preserving fresh milk in the form of dried milk products. A working group led by Max Morgenthaler now researched ways to preserve coffee so that the beverage could only be produced by adding water, without losing the natural fragrance and taste of the coffee. After eight years of intensive laboratory and development work, she was able to present initial successes and present a method that could process the coffee beans into powder in a way that was both quality and aroma-friendly, thus preserving it.
