Chocolate also has been one of the most popular flavor in the world, and chocolate bars are most commonly eaten, chocolate is also a subject of hot and cold drinks.
HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE
Chocolate is produced from cocoa (Theobroma cacao), which is expected to grow initially in the northern Amazon region to Central America. Maybe down to Chiapas, the southernmost part of Mexico. Olmec people take advantage of the tree and, perhaps, make a "chocolate" along the Gulf coast in southern Mexico. The earliest documentation of chocolate found in its use at a site in Puerto Escondido chocolate manufacturing, Honduras around 1100 -1400 BC . Residues from the processing tank showed that the initial use of cacao was not destined to make a drink, but white selput contained in cocoa beans are more likely to be used as a source of sugar to alcohol.
Brown residue found on the pottery used by the ancient Mayans in Río Azul, northern Guatemala, suggests that Mayans drank chocolate around the year 400 BC. The first civilizations inhabiting the area known as the Meso-American tree "kakawa" whose fruits are consumed as a beverage xocolātl which means a bitter drink. According to them, these drinks should be consumed every day, for several reasons.
However, it seems that chocolate is also a symbol of prosperity. How to serve it is not arbitrary. By holding a liquid container is as high as his chest and poured into another container on the ground, an expert presenter who can make a thick foam, part of what makes it so precious beverage. This foam is actually produced by the cocoa fat (cocoa butter), but sometimes also added extra foam. Meso-American people seem to have a critical habit of drinking and eating porridge containing chocolate. The seeds of the cacao tree itself is very bitter and must be fermented to taste can be obtained. Following are the results of roast and chocolate or cocoa powdered. It is estimated that drinking chocolate to the Maya began about the year 450 BC - 500 BC. It is said that chocolate consumption is considered as an important status symbol in those days. Maya eating chocolate in the form of frothy fluid sprinkled with red pepper, vanilla, or other spices. Drinks are also believed to be a deterrent Xocoatl fatigue, a belief which may be caused from theobromin content therein.
When the classic Maya civilization collapsed (about 900) and was replaced by the Toltec, cocoa beans became the main commodity Meso-America. During the Aztec Empire in power (until about 1500 BC) region which includes the City of Mexico is now known as the Meso-American region most rich in cocoa beans. For cocoa the Aztec is the "food of the gods" (Theobroma, from the Greek). Usually the cocoa beans used in religious ceremonies and as gifts.
Chocolate is also a luxury during the Meso-American Colombia, in their culture of cocoa beans Maya, Toltec, and Aztec (cocoa beans) are often used as currency . As an example of Aztec Indians using this system to calculate where the turkey chicken for one hundred cacao beans and one avocado for three cocoa beans .While the year 1544 AD, the delegation which visited the Maya Kekchi Guatemala palace Spain bearing gifts, including chocolate drinks.
At the beginning of the 17th century, chocolate became popular refreshing drink in the palace of Spain. Throughout the century, chocolate spread among the European elite, then through a democratic process for the price cheap enough, and at the end of the century it became a drink enjoyed by the merchant class. About 100 years after his arrival in Europe, the chocolate is so famous in London, to establish a "chocolate houses" to store supplies chocolate, starting at coffee houses. The first chocolate house opened in 1657.
In 1689 a physician and collector named Hans Sloane, developed a type of milk chocolate drink in Jamaica and was originally drunk by tribal apothekari, but the drink is then sold by the Cadbury brothers . All European chocolate was originally consumed as a beverage. New in 1847 found a brown solid. Europe discard almost all the spices are added by the Meso-American, but often retain vanilla. Also replaced a lot of material to fit their own taste from a special recipe that requires amber, wax purple dye extracted from whale intestines, to more common materials such as cinnamon or cloves. However, the most frequently added to the sugar. In contrast, the Meso-American chocolate did not appear to be sweet.
European Chocolate was originally mixed in the same manner as that used Maya and Aztecs. Even now, the ancient Meso-American way is still maintained, but in the machinery industry. Still a little fermented cocoa beans, dried, roasted, and ground. However, a series of more complicated techniques that are played. Brown powder emulsified with potassium or sodium carbonation for easy mixing with water (dutched, emulsification method found in the Netherlands), fat reduced by removing a lot of cocoa butter (fat), ground as a liquid in a special vat (conched), or mixed with milk so that chocolate milk (chocolate milk).
