Aluminum foil, also known as the "silver friend" of the kitchen, is today an indispensable accessory for every household. However, its story begins long before it became part of our everyday life. It was first produced in 1910 in Switzerland, when aluminum began to be rolled into thin sheets, similar to today. Its use was quickly adopted due to its versatility and lightness, and it soon replaced tin foil, which had been used for food storage until then. Interestingly, in the early years of production, aluminum foil also found its way into the world of art and industry, as it was used to protect pictures and electronic devices.
