Description
The story of chocolate begins 3,000 years ago in the Mexican jungles. Used as currency and traded by the Aztecs, chocolate arrived in Europe via the conquistadors, and was soon a favourite drink with aristocrats. By the 19th century and industrialization, chocolate became a food for the masses - until its revival in our own time as a luxury item. Covering archaeology, botany, socio-economics, industry, ethics, and even neuroscience, this is a thoroughly fascinating account of chocolate: where it comes from, how it’s made, and what it does to us.
