A story of chocolate espionage hit the world press when an apprentice of the Swiss company of Suchard-Tobler unsuccessfully attempted to sell secret chocolate recipes to Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. Ghiradelli, who imported beans from Peru to San Francisco to sell to gold prospectors, has discovered how to extract cocoa butter from ground cocoa to create a very soluble cocoa powder. Cadbury brothers are selling a similar product two years later.¹ Joseph Fry & Son and Cadbury Brothers display “chocolates for eating” at an exhibition in Bingley Hall, Birmingham, England.
From the beginning, sourcing high quality ingredients has been our top priority. We pay approximately 3X the market price because these beans come from from farms that have the highest standards, are sustainable and are known for their rigorous quality control practices. Cadmium and Lead are naturally occurring in the soil. With volcanic soils tending to have the higher concentration levels. There is little to no control over these factors not only for cacao tress but other types of foods such as leafy vegetables, cereals and bread, potatoes, legumes and nuts, stem/root vegetables, and more. The foods with highest concentrations of of Cadmium are Shellfish, Leafy Greens and Rice. Foods that most of us consume on a regular basis.Salty and crunchy, these are a natural savoury pairing for dark chocolate. Decidedly moreish, the hint of salt lifts the flavours of chocolate with a higher cacao percentage. Walnut, blue cheese and dates For this reason we created a recommendation list for those who want to use extra caution when eating their chocolate, because we understand that the risk factors will vary from person to person and according to each individual health risks. The data we collect from you will be stored for no longer than necessary. The length of time we retain said information will be determined based upon the following criteria: the length of time your personal information remains relevant; the length of time it is reasonable to keep records to demonstrate that we have fulfilled our duties and obligations; any limitation periods within which claims might be made; any retention periods prescribed by law or recommended by regulators, professional bodies or associations; the type of contract we have with you, the existence of your consent, and our legitimate interest in keeping such information as stated in this Policy. Last, but by no means least. White chocolate is a great choice for when you want to dunk into something a little lighter. We make ours with 36 per cent cacao butter for a buttery smoothness. Sweet treats
Spanish nuns in Oaxaca, Mexico are the first to sweeten chocolate with honey, cinnamon and cane sugar, making the drink popular with colonials. Spanish monks introduce the first sweetened drink to Spain around 1590. They sweeten it with honey and vanilla.³ Chocolate and orange is a classic flavour combination. Give your guests a little extra zest by using fresh orange segments to dip into a dark chocolate fountain. Our Chocolate Orange Tangs capture all the fresh bursts of citrus tang, using natural ingredients. Although these are already enrobed in our dark chocolate, there’s no harm in double-coating. Savoury nibbles This Policy applies to Nibble Chocolate, LLC., and it governs any and all data collection and usage by us. Through the use of www.nibblechocolate.com, you are therefore consenting to the data collection procedures expressed in this Policy. A new generation of chocolatiers knows no bounds. The fusion cuisine of the late 20th century has logically found its way to chocolate: exotic spices such as saffron, curry and lemongrass are now commonplace in chocolate, as are everyday kitchen foods such as basil, goat cheese and olive oil. Most appropriately, chocolate has returned to its Mesoamerican roots. Many artisan chocolatiers now offer some version of “Aztec” chocolate, spiced with the original “new world” flavors of chile and cinnamon. The market has seen growth in organic and kosher brands and high percentage cacao chocolate is recognized as a functional food, delivering antioxidants. It seems that the Aztecs were right about the health-giving properties of cacao. Beans are local and international currency: a turkey could be bought for 200 beans, a tomato for 3 beans. Later, when the Maya trade with the Aztecs, 400 beans equal 1 Aztec Zontli, 8000 beans equal 1 Aztec Xiquipilli.

Cacao is tasted by Columbus on his fourth and last voyage to the New World. Columbus encounters a great Mayan trading canoe on the island of Guanaja, off Honduras, carrying a cargo of cocoa beans. (Almost 500 years later, Valrhona, the great chocolate company, makes a grand cru chocolate bar and names it in honor of the island—it is spectacular chocolate.) He presents the King and Queen of Spain with beans, but Ferdinand and Isabella see no real worth in them. Piece together mango, papaya and pineapple for a tropical paradise sensation. Why not leave a bowl of desiccated coconut on your dipping station for an added touch of Caribbean sunshine? Cherry Bakewell Glace cherries and almonds come together to capture a British classic, the cherry Bakewell. Our Enrobed Cherries are already double-robed with milk and dark chocolate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t complete the trio with an extra layer of white. When it comes to chocolate, three’s never a crowd. Savoury nibbles The same goes for traditional chocolate fountains. As the melted chocolate pours, the last thing you want is to drop your dipping treat. The indulgent choice for those who like their chocolate to be on the deeper side. We start our dark chocolate off at 70% cacao, going all the way to the top with our 100% Dark Chocolate Slabs. The higher the percentage, the more complex and nuanced the cacao taste. Sweet treats
We are in the process of testing our 72%, inclusion and vegan milk chocolates and will add the recommendations below when the results are ready.Coenraad Van Houten invents the cocoa press, a hydraulic press, to squeeze out some of the cocoa butter from the beans, leaving behind the defatted cocoa powder. The nib of the bean is about 52% cocoa butter; Van Houten’s machine reduces the fat content by nearly half and creates a “press cake” that is pulverized into the fine powder known as cocoa. The powder is treated with alkaline salts so that it mixes more easily with water. The final product has a darker color and the beverage has a milder taste and a smoother consistency. Van Houten was Dutch and patented his invention in Amsterdam, so his alkalizing process becomes known as “dutching.” The invention helps cut prices as well; and the overall Industrial Revolution enables the mass production of chocolate, spreading its popularity among the citizenry.¹ Let the deeper, more savoury notes of dark chocolate shine through with canapes and nibbles you may usually expect as starters, rather than desserts. Pretzels Cacahuatl becomes popular among the Aztec upper classes. The Aztecs see cacao as a gift of the plumed serpent god Quetzalcoatl, the god of light. The Cote d’Ivoire is the world’s largest exporter of cacao beans, 1.4 million tons. The Netherlands both imports and grinds the most cacao. Some is made into chocolates; the remainder is processed into couverture and cocoa powder and exported to other countries which make their own chocolates from it.
Chocolate incites controversy. Johan Franciscus Rauch of Vienna condemns chocolate as inflamer of passions and urges monks not to drink it. A Mr. Parkinson in his 1640 “Theatrum Botanicum” calls it “wash for hogs.”¹ We hope to have provided enough information to help you make a decision and please reach out to us for any additional lingering questions or concerns. The Olmec, a very sophisticated society, give much of their culture to the Maya, including “xocoatl,” sho-KWA-til. Consumption of cocoa beans is restricted to the Mayan society’s elite, in the form of an unsweetened cocoa drink made from the ground beans.
An Italian traveler, Antonio Carletti, discovers chocolate in Spain and takes it to Italy where chocolate-mania develops: Cioccolatieri open in all major cities. From Italy, chocolate spreads to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Twenty-two years after Hershey’s kisses debut, Francesco Buitoni, a relative of the pasta family, launches Baci, Italian for kiss. His chocolate kisses have a hazelnut in the center. In other words: There is potential harm when you have been consuming 1000 times the MADL every single day.
