We welcome you to the country of origin of cocoa , yes, here in Mexico is the origin of cocoa. Cocoa beans were already cultivated by the indigenous people of Mexico, the Mayas and Aztecs and made into a chocolate drink, cocoa.

The importance of cocoa beans was so high that they were even used as a means of payment. Thus, in the old tradition, the Aztecs and Maya celebrated with drummers and dancers. At the festivities, cocoa was served, seasoned with chilli or pepper.

Since all the peoples of Central America valued the beans very much and they were difficult to break because of their hardness, the cocoa beans were also used like money, for example animals or tools were exchanged for cocoa beans. However, the bean was only suitable for trading or paying if it was particularly beautifully shaped and had a uniform brown color

In the course of time, the name of today's cocoa changed, like many other things, from kakawa to cacao and from Xocolatl to chocolate e. The Mayans took over the tradition of chocolate , the crushed beans were made with water without sweeteners as a bitter drink.



The Aztecs finally gave the drink the name "Xocolatl", which loosely translated means "bitter water" and was regarded as the drink of the gods. The Spaniards derived the term “chocolate” from it and in German chocolate was derived from it. The cocoa beans were then also in the entire used Mesoamerican space than cash and had a high place in religious rituals.
