The origin of chocolate - where does chocolate come from?

The history of chocolate goes back to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, where cocoa beans were used as a valuable commodity and to make exclusive drinks for the nobility.

The cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao, originates from the tropical forests of Central and South America. From there, cocoa beans spread to the rest of the world, becoming a popular delicacy in Europe in the 16th century. Today, cocoa is cultivated in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, where the climate creates the best growing conditions for cocoa trees.

From cocoa bean to chocolate

The making of chocolate begins with harvesting the cocoa beans, which are then fermented and dried to develop their unique flavor. Next, the beans are roasted, which intensifies the aroma. Finally, the cocoa beans are ground into cocoa mass.

Cocoa mass is then mixed with sugar and milk to create milk chocolate or kept pure for dark chocolate. After mixing, the mass goes through a process called conching, where it is kneaded and refined into a smooth consistency.

At the end, the chocolate is tempered, which gives it its characteristic shine and snap, before being shaped and packaged.
