The Unlikely Architect of Hong Kong's Coffee Culture In the heart of Hong Kong's bustling streets, Black and White brand full cream evaporated milk has been shaping the city's culinary identity for nearly nine decades.
Born in the Netherlands but adopted by Hong Kong as its own, this unassuming canned product is an integral component of the city's diner culture.
The story of Black and White's creation is a testament to the complexities of colonial history and cultural exchange. In the 1940s, FrieslandCampina developed this evaporated milk specifically for the Hong Kong market.
