Chocolates than 120 years old

It became known that in Australia was found a royal box of chocolates at the age of more than 120 years.

According to experts, the sweets are in excellent condition for their age.

The National Library of Australia acquired a box of things of the country’s famous poet Andrew Barton Banjo Paterson.

However, in addition to manuscripts and documents, it contained a gift pack of chocolates, which are more than 120 years old.

The souvenir was ordered by Queen Victoria in 1900 and sent to South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War as a gift to soldiers.

According to experts, these are probably some of the best-preserved chocolates of that century to date.

How exactly the sweets ended up with the poet is not known. It is assumed that he bought them from one of the soldiers when he was working in Africa.
