History of chocolate:
Chocolate history starts out in Latin America, where cacao trees grow wild. The first people to use chocolate were probably the southeast Mexico and Maya. They lived in the area around 1000 BC, and their word, "kawaka," gave us our word "cacao.
The cacao beans were used as currency. 10 beans would buy you a rabbit . 100 beans would buy you a slave.
In 1657, the first chocolate house opened in London. You could go to the chocolate house, have a drink, and play some cards, talk politics, that sort of thing.
In the 1850s, Englishman Joseph Fry changed life by adding more cocoa butter, rather than hot water, to cocoa powder and sugar. The world's first solid chocolate was born
How is Chocolate Made
First, the beans were harvested, fermented, and dried.
Next, the cacao beans are roasted in large, rotating ovens, at temperatures of about 210-290F.The paste was mixed with hot water and spices, such as chili, vanilla, annatto, allspice, honey, and flowers.
Then the mixture was frothed by pouring it back and forth between two containers.
This way is the same way from 1000 B**
