WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY

Every year on July 7th World Chocolate Day allows chocolate lovers around the world to indulge in their favorite treat without any guilt.

The day also celebrates all kinds of goodies made from chocolate including chocolate milk hot chocolate chocolate candy bar chocolate cake brownies or anything covered in chocolate.

Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia and grows in Mexico Central America and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of using cacao seeds is from around 1100 BC.

Since cacao tree seeds have a very intense bitter taste they must be fermented to develop the flavor. Once fermented processors dry clean and roast the beans. After roasting the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs.
