A brief history of condensed milk:
Condensed milk is produced by removing a portion of water from milk and typically adding sugar. It was discovered by the Frenchman Nicolas Appert in 1820 while researching food sterilization and preservation in airtight containers. In 1828, French inventor Malbec applied Appert’s method to fresh cow’s milk to create condensed milk. This method spread across Europe, and by 1853, it arrived in the United States, where Gail Borden patented it in 1856. Modern commercial condensed milk is processed differently than homemade versions, often undergoing high-pressure heat treatment. (Source: Wikipedia).
