The origins of the word chocolate may come from either the Mayan cacao or the Nahuatl (Aztec) chocolatl. Spanish explorers brought it to Europe as a drink made of powdered beans, similar to cocoa but not sweetened. As cacao beans became more widely available, people began to experiment with different ways of using them. An English confectioner, Joseph Storrs Fry, made the first eating chocolate in 1849.
We may never really know where the word âchocolateâ comes from. The Europeans have had some form of chocolate for over 500 years now. It is also possible that the word âchocolateâ could have come from the Maya, Aztecs, or even the Olmecs much earlier. On the other hand, there is always new research being done and it is surprising to see how much weâve learned about ancient cultures in the last 100 years.
