About the event
No one really knows when this day originated or who started it. A common assumption is that it is a day that was created by one or more chocolate confectioners. Which would make sense!
How Do You Make Chocolate?
Chocolate is created from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree. This tree, which has been cultivated by mankind for over three thousand years, grows in parts of Mexico, Central America and South America.
After the seeds have been harvested, they are then fermented, dried, roasted and shelled. After this has been done, a chocolate liquor is made by grinding down, and then liquefying the inside meat of the cacao nuts. The final step is to separate the chocolate liquor into its two parts: the dark chocolate solids and the light cocoa butter. Now it is ready for Chocolate Day!
