Chocolate has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to ancient civilizations in Mesoamerica. The Aztecs and Mayans were among the first to cultivate the cacao tree and make chocolate from its beans. They believed that chocolate had mystical and medicinal properties and used it in religious rituals and as currency.

​

When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the Americas in the 16th century, they encountered chocolate and brought it back to Europe. At first, chocolate was consumed mostly as a bitter beverage, but over time, sugar was added to make it more palatable. Chocolate became increasingly popular in Europe, and the first chocolate houses opened in London in the 17th century.

The industrial revolution of the 19th century saw the development of new processes for making chocolate, which made it more widely available and affordable. It was thanks to the French that bought back the wonderful flavours of cacao we have today that was lost during industrialization of chocolate.

​

Despite its widespread popularity, the production of chocolate remains a complex and labor-intensive process. The cacao tree requires specific growing conditions, and the beans must be harvested, fermented, dried, roasted, and processed before they can be used to make chocolate. Each cacao is so unique, and each maker works their best to bring out the bespoke flavours of cacao.
