Description

Chocolate - the word itself conjures up instant images. What did you think of when you read it? Your favorite candy bar? Or perhaps that slice of chocolate mousse cake you had as dessert the last time you ate out. I think of opening a box of assorted chocolates and trying to figure out which one to start with, they are all filled with such promise.Yes, people the world over have had a love affair with chocolate that has spanned the ages. The earliest record of chocolate is linked to the Mayans in 600 A.D. when they established the first cocoa plantations in the Yucatan. However, it has been argued that it was considered a valuable commodity several centuries before this date.In my research on chocolate, (I actually read about it rather than just eating it, although who is to say which is more valuable?), I found some interesting data I would like to share with you. It shouldn't have surprised me that the names we associate with chocolate - Lindt, Van Houten, Cadbury, Hershey and Nestl_ were the pioneers in the making of edible chocolate.
