A Brief History of Chocolate

Chocolate began as a drink in Central America long before it became a candy bar. A tasting talk traces cacao’s journey through trade routes, processing methods, and changing technologies that shaped flavor and texture over centuries. Samples support discussion about chemistry, history, and global exchange behind a familiar food.
