What’s the buzz about World Chocolate Day?
World Chocolate Day, or International Chocolates Day, rolls around every year on July 7th. This day marks the introduction of chocolate to Europe way back in 1550.
The International Confectionery Association (ICA) kicked off this celebration to spread chocolate joy worldwide. On this day, chocolates lovers everywhere come together to share their favorite sweet treats, enjoy chocolate-themed events, and indulge without a hint of guilt.
The sweet history of chocolate
Chocolate’s story goes way back to ancient Mesoamerica, where the Mayans and Aztecs thought it was a gift from the gods. They used it in ceremonies and even as money!
Fast forward to the 16th century, and Spanish Conquistadors stumbled upon this magical bean. They took it back to Europe, and chocolate quickly became everyone’s favorite treat.
At first, it was enjoyed as a drink, and then in the 19th century, someone had the brilliant idea to make solid chocolate bars. And, well, the rest is sweet history!
The many types of chocolate
There are so many delicious types of chocolate out there.
Milk chocolate is probably the most popular – it’s sweet, creamy, and just melts in your mouth.
Dark chocolates has a richer, more intense flavor and is packed with antioxidants. White chocolate is smooth and sweet, made from cocoa butter without the cocoa solids.
And let’s not forget about vegan chocolate for our plant-based friends.
Plus, there are so many fun flavors to explore, like nuts, fruit, or spices added to the mix.
