THE CHOCOHOLICS DELIGHT

THE CHOCOHOLICS DELIGHT

The word chocolate brings a bright smile to most of us, and the very sight of chocolate in any form entices and excites the various senses, enlivens our mood, and uplifts our thoughts, too! Among all the varieties of chocolate we have encountered, dark chocolate seems to have received the highest votes and numbers when it comes to being nutritive and good for us to consume once in a while, though keeping in mind the balance factor in a good diet.

Dark chocolate has been around for over 3,000 years. It was developed around 1900 B.C. in Central and South America as a drink. It was the only form of chocolate available at the time. Later, it was also made into a drink for the Aztecs and Mayans for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. It has been one of my favourite and exciting ingredients to work with ever since, and innovating with dark chocolate, be it shakes or puddings, set desserts or flans, is great.

The dark variety of chocolate is the one without added milk solids. The basic ingredients are cacao beans, sugar, an emulsifier like soy lecithin to preserve texture, and flavourings such as vanilla. The more cocoa and less sugar dark chocolate has, the more bitter it will taste and a small amount is considered a healthful snack besides being able to adapt to various forms, textures and recipes as a part of world cuisine. Early on, dark chocolate was the only form of chocolate available. It was developed around 1900 B.C. as a beverage in what is now Central and South America. Later the Mayans and the Aztecs made bitter dark chocolate beverages for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. Dark chocolate is the speciality of France, and guess what’s more, the world’s largest consumer chocolate show along with the World Chocolate Master Championships takes place here every second year with out of the world variety of concoctions and ideas to keep you asking for more!
