The roots of chocolate can be followed back to Mayan and Aztec cultures in Central America. Chocolate was solely for drinking till the early Victorian era, when a formula for making solid eating chocolate was invented.

The story of chocolate commences with cocoa trees. They grow in the selvas of Central and South America and cocoa beans were utilised for hundreds of years by the Aztecs as an ingredient for their chocolate drink and as vogue.

I had eczema for years and usual medications didn’t help. After I found about natural remedies to cure eczema, the disease disappeared in a month. My skin has been healthy ever since.

Types of Chocolate

The main types of chocolate are white chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate and unsweetened chocolate. These types of chocolate may be produced with ordinary cacao beans (mass-produced and cheap) or specialty cacao beans (aromatic and expensive) or a mixture of these two types. The composition of the mixture, origin of cacao beans, the treatment and roasting of beans, and the types and amounts of additives used will significantly affect the flavor and the price of the final chocolate.

White chocolate

Chocolate made with cocoa butter, sugar, milk, emulsifier, vanilla and sometimes other flavorings. It does not contain any non-fat ingredients from the cacao bean and has therefore an off-white color. In some countries white chocolate cannot be called ‘chocolate’ because of the low content of cocoa solids. It has a mild and pleasant flavor and can be used to make Chocolate Mousse, Panna Cotta and other desserts.

Milk chocolate

Sweet chocolate which normally contains 10-20% cocoa solids (which includes cocoa and cocoa butter) and more than 12% milk solids. It is seldom used for baking, except for cookies.
