A 125-year-old chocolate bar given to soldiers by Queen Victoria is about to be sold at auction.

The estimated price for the bar is between £250 and £400.

The chocolate is preserved in its original tin and still has some of its foil wrapper.

This special treat was a gift to British troops during the Boer War in 1900.

Lucy McCourt, an expert on military items from the auction house, explained that this antique would have been rare and required significant willpower not to eat.

Other aged and ancient food items, such as a 285-year-old lemon, a 52-million-year-old fruit fossil, a 2,000-year-old lump of butter, and a jar of cheese found in a sunken ship, have also captivated attention.

In 2015, an American couple made headlines by revealing they were still eating a piece of their 60-year-old wedding cake, demonstrating that some food items can have a lasting impact.
