CHOCOLATE

The Mayans were one of the first known growers and consumers of chocolate. Chocolate was a symbol of power and cacao beans were often used as currency on the trade route from South to North America. As in pre-Columbian times, Mexican chocolate is often mixed with spices like cinnamon, chile powder, anis seeds, allspice and vanilla to enhance its flavor. It is used in traditional dishes like the Mole Poblano as well as to prepare the popular hot chocolate drink, one of the world’s favorite treat! Kaokao’s chocolates are made here on the island.
