The divine origin of this tropical plant, indigenous to the equatorial regions of the Americas, is re-flected in its scientific name, Theobroma, which means ‘food of the gods’. Cocoa was introduced to Europe by the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez following his conquest of Mexico in 1519. The na¬tive Aztecs used the cocoa bean in the preparation of a bitter drink they called xocoatl.
