Cacao’s flavor shifted and its theobromine contentβ€”the compound that gives chocolate its bitterness and stimulant qualitiesβ€”increased. Its susceptibility to disease rose as well, leading to its ever-increasing rarity. πŸŒ±πŸ’”β  ⁠ However, archaeologists found the earliest example of cacao usage in the Americas on pieces of stone and ceramic from ~ 5,300-year-old Mayo-Chinchipe sites in Ecuador β€” 1,700 years earlier than the evidence from Mesoamerica. And since the Mayo-Chinchipe were in contact with groups along the Pacific coast, it’s likely that they traded cacao with people who brought it north to Mesoamerica. πŸ§ΊπŸ«β†”οΈπŸ‘πŸΎ ⁠ ⁠ Cacao β€˜caught on’ and very likely spread northwards by farmers growing cacao in what is now Colombia, eventually Panama, and other parts of Central America and southern Mexico. This new origin story for chocolate opens up some sweet new opportunities to learn more about how and when cacao was used in ancient times while also enjoying the heck out of it ourselves! Nothing like eating delicious chocolate while learning about its history! πŸ˜‹πŸ«πŸ“–πŸ’«β  ⁠ What flavor are you enjoying while you get your daily dose of chocolate history? πŸ’¬πŸ‘‡β  .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ πŸ“œ: @natgeo #originstory #chocolateorigin #singleorigin #chocolate #cacao #endorfinfoods #craftchocolate #organic #darkchocolate #cacao #chocolates #foodie #foodies #slowfood #fairtradecertified #history #thehistoryofchocolate #slowchocolate #regenerativecacao #beantobar #specialtychocolate #ceremonialcacao #ritual #ceremony #plantmedicine #sacredcacao #chocolatesubscription⁠ by @endorfinfoods

There is a misconception that solid chocolate confectionery is a fairly modern invention, as it was mostly unknown until the 19th century. Yet there’s evidence that such sweets were being made early on in Mexico by Spanish missionary nuns. β›ͺ πŸ™πŸ»πŸ«β  ⁠ Supposedly these Mexican covenants amassed fortunes through the sale of these delicacies, and these treats almost certainly graced many banquet tables in Baroque Europe, alongside other edible delicacies like fruits and sorbets. πŸ’°πŸ«πŸ’«β  ⁠ But many Spanish physicians had something to say about this since, as you may know, they considered chocolate to be medicinal. In 1591Dr. Juan de Cárdenas of Mexico announced that he considered chocolate to be β€œcold” in its nature, but with New World spices added it was considered β€œhot,” making cacao, in the end, neutral. According to him β€œhot” people (presumably in New Spain or current day Mexico) drank cacao with atole and sugar or with honey and hot water to make themselves β€œcooler.” 🩺πŸ₯🍫⁠ ⁠ So next time you find yourself overheating on a hot day spent in the beautiful spring sun, or needing to warm up on a cool day, may you take cacao, wet your lips, and refresh yourself. πŸŒžβ™¨οΈβ˜•πŸ«πŸ’› ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #Thetruehistoryofchocolate #cacaohistory ##regenerativecacao #beantobar #specialtychocolate #bayareamakers #california #makercommunity #chocolatemaker #chocolate #endorfinfoods #singleorigin #refinedsugarfree #craftchocolate #foodgasm #organic #darkchocolate #cacao #chocolate #chocolates #foodie #foodies #slowfood #slowchocolate #farmtotable #foodismedicine #history #thehistoryofchocolate #foodhistory ⁠ by @endorfinfoods

A moment of chocolatey joy captured in the woods πŸ€©β€οΈπŸŒ²πŸ«πŸ’« ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This lovely Dark & Salty bar starts with a base of our signature dark chocolate with coconut mylk – smooth and bold with a tiny hint of sweet. We add a delightful crunch with just the right amount of regeneratively grown Ecuadorian cacao nibs (100% cacao by definition), and seal the deal with a subtle kiss of Peruvian pink salt from @saltoftheearthco. This unique bar combines the ultra-smooth meltdown of our mylk chocolate with the intensity & flavor of extra dark chocolate for a chocolate experience in a category all its own. πŸ€€πŸ˜‹πŸ€€β β  ⁠⁠ (Ps - Don't miss the feature we did on sustainably sourcing Peruvian Pink Salt over on our Slow Chocolate blog.) πŸ“°πŸ§‚πŸ«β€οΈβ β  .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ #slowchocolate #blogpost #blog #chocolateblog #darkandsalty #chocolatebar #regenerativecacao #endorfinfoods #slowchocolate #organic #organicchocolate #endorfin #salt #saltychocolate #ecuadoriancacao #cacaonibs #chocoholic #californiamakers #bayareamakers #salty #peruvianpinksalt #peruviansalt #peru #peruvian #saltlovers #chocolatelovers #love #chocolate #cacao #ceremonialcacao ⁠⁠ by @endorfinfoods

Cacao is rich in polyphenols (a powerful class of antioxidants) to help neutralize free radicals and fight oxidative stress. Cacao beans are also fermented before they're dried, roasted, and removed from their shells to make chocolate. As you may know, fermented foods are also great for gut health, which simultaneously supports brain health too!

Hernández then classified the plants of Mexico as either β€œhot” or β€œcold.” A β€œhot” food was one with strong odor, taste, or bitter flavor, and foods with little odor or taste were classified as β€œcold.” 🧊 v. πŸ”₯⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Strangely enough, with its strong and bitter flavor, cacao was classified as a β€œcold” food. It’s suspected that this was the case because the Aztecs themselves held it to be β€œcold,” and even drank cacao before undertaking hard labor to avoid tiring the body by overheating it. 🍫=🧊...πŸ€”?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In 1591 a treatise of New World foods (pictured in photo 2) that was later studied by European β€œexperts” claimed that cacao is fattening and sustaining, aiding digestion and making one happy and strong.

Archeological evidence of cacao cultivation and fermentation dates back to as early as 4,000 years ago in Central America. Mayas and Aztec attributed divine origin to the cacao tree used the precious cacao beans as a currency and turned it into a fermented, sacred beverage called β€œπšŒπš‘πš˜πšŒπš˜πš•πšŠπšπš•,” or drinking chocolate, consumed in golden cups for rituals. πŸ™πŸ»β™¨οΈβœ¨β  ⁠ Recent studies show cacao domestication may have happened at any point between about 2,400 and 11,000 years ago, and the most likely scenario seems to be about 3,600 years ago. But this evidence shows cacao was *not* domesticated in Mesoamerica… Lots of conflicting information exists on this topic, and we’ll be posting more about this next week! πŸŒŽπŸŒ΄πŸ’šβ  ⁠ Spanish explorers first encountered cacao in the early 1500s. The popularity of cacao-based beverages grew from Spain into France, England, and much more of Western Europe by the 1700s, but the first chocolate bar was not made until 1848. β€οΈπŸ«πŸ’’β  ⁠ In 2003, global cacao production covered over 17,000,000 acres and produced over 3.5 million tons. These whopping numbers are why it’s so important to buy fair trade, organic certified chocolate at minimum - preferably from makers like us that go above and beyond certifications to increase farmer compensation. Every bar makes a big difference. Every. Single.
