Chocolate

Chocolate originated in Mexico with the Aztec Indians and came to Spain through the Spanish conquistadors. Christopher Columbus encountered cocoa beans for the first time in 1502. The Aztecs used cocoa beans to make a bitter, foamy beverage called chocolate, which was drunk during religious celebrations. The Spaniards weren't fond of chocolate, but that didn't stop them from shipping the beans back home. Charles I received a shipment in 1525. Spain held a monopoly over the cocoa trade for about a hundred years. Although cocoa arrived in Italy in the late 16th century, it didn't really become a trend outside of Spain until 1615, when Louis XIII married Anne of Austria, the daughter of King Philip III of Spain. Chocolate was served at their wedding in Paris, and soon after that, it became a favourite drink for French aristocrats. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, chocolate was the most popular drink in Spain. Richard Ford said that chocolate "is for the Spanish what tea is for the English and coffee for the French." Today, Spain is a major producer of chocolate.
