      The History of Chocolate

      Most experts these days use the term cacao to refer to the plant or its beans before processing, while the term chocolate refers to anything made from the beans. Cocoa generally refers to chocolate in a powdered form, although it can also be a British form of cacao.

      Etymologists trace the origin of the word chocolate to the Aztec word xocoatl, which referred to a bitter drink brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, means food of the gods.

      Many modern historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2000 years in the tropical rainforests of the Americas, but recent research suggests that it may be even older.

      Chocolate, the fermented, roasted, and ground beans of the Theobroma cacao, can be traced to the Mokaya and other pre-Olmec people, with evidence of cacao beverages dating back to 1900 BC. Mokaya were pre-Olmec cultures of the Soconusco region in Mexico and parts of the Pacific coast of western Guatemala. The Olmec were the first major civilization in Mexico. They lived in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, in the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco. Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BC.

      The first people known to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink.

      The Maya Indians moved from their home in Guatemala to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. They brought with them cacao from the rain forest. In Guatemala the Maya established large plantations to grow cacao.

      The Aztec's began to rule Mexico. The Aztecs demanded payment in the form of taxes from the Aztecs with cacao beans. The Aztecs used the cacao bean for a drink. They added flowers, vanilla, and honey to their drink.

      Sweetened chocolate didn't appear until Europeans discovered the Americas and sampled the native cuisine. Legend has it that the Aztec King Montezuma at first thought that Hernando Cortes was a reincarnated deity instead of a conquering invader and welcomed the Spanish explorer with a banquet that included drinking chocolate.

      By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal and even aphrodisiac properties. But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.

      In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate by removing about half the natural fat (cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, pulverizing what remained and treating the mixture with alkaline salts to cut the bitter taste. His product became known as Dutch cocoa, and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate.

      The creation of the first modern chocolate bar is credited to Joseph Fry, who in 1847 discovered that he could make a moldable chocolate paste by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa.

      By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England.
