Why are chocolate cat’s tongues so famous?

This cat’s tongue-shaped bonbon, traditionally made with milk chocolate, has always been one of children’s favorite chocolates.

Just the name alone was enough to make you wonder: is it really a cat’s tongue…? But it is really its creamy texture that, little by little, melts in the mouth, which produces one of the greatest gastronomic pleasures that one can experience at such a tender age.

Its curious tongue-thin appearance is topped with a print of a cat’s face sticking out its tongue at one end.

Cat’s tongues have been, and will continue to be, one of the most popular chocolates in the world.

The origin of the cat’s tongues

The truth is that it is not possible to say exactly where cat languages come from. Different origins are attributed to it, although everything points to its origin coming from the center of Europe.

Some place its origins in Austria, at the end of the 19th century. Others say that the recipe was created by a Swiss confectioner 10 years earlier. Wherever it comes from, it is one of the most consumed chocolates in the world, including the American continent.

Currently, they are made with milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. There is another variety of candy that is also known as “lengua de gato” (cat’s tongue), which is a kind of soletilla cookie dipped in chocolate. The name is also due to its resemblance to a cat’s tongue, but it is not a bonbon.

In Casa Mira you can find boxes of cat’s tongues made with a great milk chocolate that will be a sensation as a gift. If you want to look good with your family and friends, a safe bet are the cat tongues. You can find them in our online store.
