Description
Join us on a fun journey through the history of chocolate! We’ll start by clarifying cacao, cocoa, and chocolate, then explore the cacao plant and its origins. Learn how the Olmecs, Maya, and Aztecs used cacao, and how Columbus and Cortez introduced it to Europe. From 1600s Europe to colonial America, we’ll uncover chocolate’s rise, medicinal uses, fun facts—like “Death by Chocolate”—and chocoholics like Louis XV and George Washington. Samples will be shared!!
