Chocolate has been used by people for numerous centuries, dating back almost 2000 years in the past. It was among the favorite drinks to ancient Maya and Aztec cultures, which called it “bitter water”. It is believed that precisely these nations named the chocolate, and since then, the cacao-seeds have hugged the entire world. The first ‘chocolatier’, as a profession in Europe, appeared in late 19^th century.
