Chocolate

Originally consumed by the Aztecs as a bitter drink that was believed to have healing properties, chocolate had a long journey to become the bar we know and love so much today. Initially, chocolate was considered the food of the Gods and was consumed only by the privileged people of the society, such as kings or priests. The Spanish were the ones to bring chocolate from South America to Europe.

The bitter drink was improved by Europeans with the addition of sugar and honey and as time passed by, more and more additions were made. Even so, chocolate was only available to the rich people who could afford it. It was only when people like Rodolphe Lindt or Henri Nestle came up with their own recipes that chocolate became available to everyone, rich or poor. So nowadays you don’t have to be an Aztec God or be rich to enjoy a bar of good quality chocolate! Learn more...
