The history of chocolate is long, dating back 3,000 years, beginning with the Aztecs. They originally prepared a drink from the cacao, which they called “xocoatl” or “cacahuatl”, meaning “bitter water”. The original Nahuatl word, cacao refers to the bean itself, and gives us the word cocoa we use for the hot drink made from chocolate powder. The plant’s botanical name, Theobroma cacao, literally means “food of the gods.” It was felt to be so valuable that it was used as currency.

And chocolate in its many forms has long been thought to be god-like, having been widely held by many to be aphrodisiac, including Casanova, reputed to eat chocolate to improve his sexual performance. Fifteenth-century Aztec emperor Moctezuma is rumored to drink up to fifty golden goblets of chocolate a day to enhance his sexual prowess and to service his harem of wives.

Our love of chocolate requires no explanation; our fascination with its history is just lovely to read as we sip our “food of the gods”…
