ORIGIN
Like vanilla, chocolate originates from Mexico and Central America, where it was cultivated by the local population for hundreds of years before being conquered by the Aztecs. The name chocolate comes from the Aztec word xocolatl, meaning "bitter water." During Aztec rule, chocolate was consumed as a drink, which also contained ground corn, honey, and vanilla. When the Aztec leader Montezuma served it to Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador was so amazed that he demanded to know the ingredients. Cortés eventually brought cacao beans to Spain and Europe, where they were used exclusively for a hot chocolate drink for centuries by the upper classes. It wasn't until 1847 that chocolate was consumed in solid form, when British chocolatier J.S. Fry and Sons developed the first method for molding cocoa butter into chocolate bars, which soon became popular worldwide.
