This product, derived from the cocoa seed, is considered one of the most delicious in the world.
He September 13 is celebrated around the world as International Chocolate Day. This comes from the cacao tree, more precisely from its seed. The tree was quite common in Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela, the latter country having the most delicious type of cacao in the world.
During pre-Columbian times, this seed was used as currency because its flavour and versatility were highly coveted. When the colonizers arrived, this was also one of the flavours that most caught their attention. However, it had nothing to do with the chocolate we know today.

Why is International Chocolate Day celebrated every September 13?
The choice of this date is in honor of the British writer, aviator and film scriptwriter, among other professions, Roald Dahlauthor of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The holiday originated in France in 1995. The man was born on September 13, 1916, which is why that date was chosen as International Chocolate Day.
The United States also joined in the celebration, because on that same day Milton S. Hershey, owner and founder of the Hershey chocolate company, was born.
