According to historical records, the earliest introduction of cocoa trees (that is, the source of cocoa beans) was Olmec, a highly educated ancient Indian living in southeastern Mexico. Olmec people are the first Americans recorded in the literature who mainly began to have civilization. Around 1500 BC, their culture developed from the coast of Mexico. At present, it is only known that cocoa trees were planted by Olmec people, but there is no evidence in archaeology that they have eaten or drunk cocoa.

After Olmec civilization, Maya culture (AD 250-900) entered Central America. Maya people smashed cocoa beans into pulp, and made chocolate drinks with bitterness and bubbles from them, and there were two ways to eat them: hot and cold.

This chocolate drink is often added with pepper or pepper to make it a special taste. At that time, the price of chocolate was not cheap in Maya, so usually only rich families or royal families would enjoy such things.

After the Spanish invasion from 1200 to 152 1 year, the Aztec kingdom rose in Mexico. Aztecs played an important role in the application and development of cocoa in the "new world" established by them.

During the Aztec dynasty, cocoa beans were so valuable that they even used them as coins. King Aztec will also store a lot of cocoa beans in the treasure cave. Aztecs, like Mayans, add different seasonings to chocolate to add flavor.

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans from Central and South America. In16th century, the famous Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez brought cocoa beans to Europe for the first time and was immediately welcomed by the Spanish. In the 17th century, spanish princess, who was only fourteen years old at that time, and Louis XIV, king of France, brought Spanish chocolate to the court in Paris, France. Since then, France, Belgium and Switzerland have become the leading kingdoms in making chocolate. Today, chocolate has been welcomed all over the world.
