About Cocoa Day
United States
Ends: Dec 13, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
Cocoa, the base ingredient of chocolate, is truly a family affair. Currently 90% of all cocoa is produced on family farms of fewer than 5 hectares each.
The Mayans were the first to use cocoa beans with peppers for medicine, as a beverage and a spice. It is unsure if the ancient Olmec or the Mayans were the first civilization to purposely farm cocoa beans around 1000BC. What we do know is this delicacy of the new world was first encountered by Christopher Columbus when he landed on the island of Guanaja in 1502.
However, it would have to wait until Hernan Cortez arrived in Tabasco in 1519 before its true culinary value would be realized. Cortez was presented with ample cocoa beans by the ruler of the Aztecs, Montezuma. For the Aztecs, the cocoa plant was sacred.
Cortez brought the beans back to Europe and this time also brought the customs of drinking and preparing the bitter bean made heavenly by sweetening. The rest is history.
On National Cocoa Day we appreciate the origins of the cocoa bean and enjoy the delicacies it creates. The most common way to celebrate in the cold months of December is with a cup of hot chocolate.
National Cocoa Day is an unofficial holiday with no sponsor.
