Being an exclusive item to the Aztec royalty, also known as “Black Gold” – holds power in the West.
The Aztecs often used cocoa beans as currency. During his 1514 journey to the New World, Hernando de Oviedo y Valdez, a member of the 1500-man Pedro Arias Dávila expedition, wrote in his magazine that four cocoa beans could buy one dinner for rabbit, he bought a slave for one hundred beans.
To the West
Chocolate has long entered Western culture. The origins of cocoa beans from Spain, Mexico, through the Aztec, at the dawn of the sixteenth century.
So far everyone knows that Belgium and Switzerland are both famous for chocolate, but few people know that, in the beginning, it was the Swiss who learned how to make chocolate from the Belgians. Across Belgium, one can find chocolate-making schools with courses from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels everywhere. The most basic 6-day course costs up to 4 thousand euros, or about more than 100 million Vietnamese dong.
Cocoa beans are roasted, peeled and finely ground into powder, which contains cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is extracted separately and the rest is ground to form fine cocoa powder and cocoa butter. The ingredients that make the chocolate are cocoa powder, cocoa butter and sugar. The quality of the cocoa bean, roasting techniques and the cocoa butter percentage contribute to the quality of the chocolate. In Belgium and Switzerland, the two countries that produce the best chocolate in the world, the percentage of cocoa butter is about 35 to 50%.
