History of Chocolate
The word “Chocolate” in English comes from Spanish. However, there is disagreement over how the word came to be in Spanish. It is thought that the word “Chocolate” came from the Nahuatl language, meaning the word “Chocolatal” in the language of the Aztec. This “Chocolatal” comes from “Xocolatl”. “Xococ” means bitter or sour and “Atl” means liquid or drink. The Maya civilization of Latin America was the first to taste chocolate. The name also comes from their language ‘Schocolet’. Which means acid drink. This chocolate, made from the seeds of the cocoa tree, was originally used as a beverage in the beginning.
During that time many people used it as a cooking spice. At that time only members of the Maya royal family, administrators, religious leaders, soldiers and the respected merchant community could taste it. The Aztecs later learned the use of chocolate from the Mayans. It was their adored god “Quetzalcoatl” who brought this cocoa tree to earth. And by playing the fruit of this tree, both empire and power can be conquered. Such was the belief of the Aztecs. That is why the cocoa tree is worshiped in that country. There are even instances of offering chocolates to gods.
Chocolate in Modern times
The first modern chocolate factory was established in Spain. In Europe, chocolate only appeared in the 16th century. The Spaniards brought it in 1527. They were the first to appreciate this drink. The Spaniards believed that chocolate not only strengthened energy, but also helped the body to heal wounds faster. They changed the recipe and flavored the chocolate by adding sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The ruling aristocracy immediately imposed huge taxes on cocoa beans. So in Spain, only those who were able to pay for chocolate could make and eat chocolate.
France learned the taste of chocolate in 1615 for the marriage between “Louis XIII” and the Spanish “Infanta” of Austria. Gradually it spread throughout Europe. At that time it was an expensive pleasure that only rich and aristocratic people could afford. Currently the most popular chocolate in the world is Cadbary Dairy Milk. It is known that George Cadbury (Jr.) learned the recipe of Cadbary Bar from Spain and first spelled it in 1905. However, John Cadbary was the first member of the Cadbary Company.

At present, Cadbary is prepared by importing high quality cocoa beans from West Asian countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, Sierra Leone etc.
