From 1916 to 1939 Da-Capo was sold as paper-wrapped pralines. The name Da-Capo comes from the musical termda capo, because it was invented as a recycling idea when the company wanted to reuse liqueur pralines that failedquality control. The pralines were melted down and Rhum Martinique was added to the mix, soothing the liqueur taste down. Da-Capo has been produced as a chocolate bar since 1949, and the wrapped pralines returned to the market in 1957. The pralines had been away from the market for some time, but nowadays they are sold at Christmas time and in travel sortiments at airports.
