We offer a wide variety of chocolate from milk chocolate to dark
chocolate, but this delicious treat wasn’t always the way it is now. Chocolate
consumption can be dated back to Pre-Columbian Mexico were the Mayans and
Aztecs used the beans from the cocoa tree to make a drink called Xocoatll that
was bitter and frothy. From 1528 up until 1847, chocolate was not widely
accepted and was still made into the frothy bitter drink the Mayans and Aztecs
used to consume. In 1847 Fry and Sons created the first “eating chocolate” but
also did not attract much attention because the chocolate was still bitter in
taste. It wasn’t until Daniel Peter, a famous Swiss chocolatier, experimented
with the chocolate and added milk to balance the flavors did it become a huge
success.
Fun fact: White Chocolate really isn’t chocolate! It is made
with powder from a Mediterranean evergreen and only has the same consistency as
regular chocolate.
