The concept of evaporated milk was first thought of in 1852 by a man named Gail Borden, during a transatlantic ship journey, when the cows aboard the ship became too seasick to provide milk. It was another two years before Borden's first experiments with condensing milk produced a milk that did not go sour for three days - bearing in mind there was no refrigeration at that time. Borden was granted a patent for sweetened condensed milk in 1856 and began commercial production the following year. Unsweetened condensed milk, or evaporated milk as we know it, was not canned successfully until 1885.
