| The Beverage of the Kings The
story begins in the jungles of lowland Mexico and Central America with the tree Theobroma
cacao and the complex processes necessary to transform its bitter seeds into delicious
chocolate, known perhaps some three thousand years ago. |
 |
| The Spanish conquest of Central America introduced chocolate to Europe, where it first became the stimulating drink of kings and aristocrats and then was democratized in coffee houses. Industrialization in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries made chocolate a food for the masses--until its revival in our own time as a luxury item. |
