Cocoa Extract

Theobroma cacao, Food of the gods

Traditionally cultivated by the Mesoamerican peoples, the earliest evidence of cocoa consumption dates back more than 3,000 years.The Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs found cocoa to be a source of energy and to possess mystical qualities. A symbol of abundance, cocoa became a major part of their culture and religion, even worshipping a feathered god of cocoa.

Introduced in Europe by the Spaniards in the 16th century, cocoa is first consumed for medicinal purposes and only becomes a popular beverage over a century later. It is then spread by the European elites in the form of various confectionaries, and given the botanical name of Theobroma cacao L., from the ancient Greek Theobroma: Food of the gods.
