The history of chocolate is one that goes back centuries through many cultures. Chocolate is known for its cultivation, processing, taste, presentation and psychology.  The history of chocolate is in many ways the history of the Americas, from the ancient Mayans to the theft of "the secret", and has made its way through Europe eventually returning to the Americas.  The history of chocolate is almost as interesting as the confection itself, and as interesting as the tastes that cocoa can produce when crafted by experts into fine chocolates and chocolate is as unique as the options available to the chocolate consumer.
