History of chocolate
By Josiah, Joshua, Jay and
Antony.
Where was chocolate first found?

Chocolate was first
found by the Aztecs
but it wasn't actually
the same chocolate
that you find today. It
was a luxury drink,
well it was to them,
but to us it would
taste quite disgusting.
Yuk!!!
World wide discovery

There was a very brave man who sailed to the
Aztecs. I bet you are thinking that’s not brave?
The Spanish thought that if you went too far
into the sea you would fall off the edge of the
world.
So the Aztecs knew about Spain and Spain knew
about the Aztecs. Then the Spanish invaded
and slaughtered the Aztecs.
When chocolate reached England
It eventually reached
England in the 1650s
but you had to be rich
because it was very
expensive.
 Gradually it became
more popular. The
first chocolate house
(similar to a cafe) was
advertised in 1657

Doctor, Doctor!

When an English doctor
visited Jamaica in 1687 he
tried chocolatl ( drink ).
He didn’t like it but when
he added milk he loved it.
The earliest cocoa makers
were chemists who
thought chocolate was a
kind of medicine.
Chocolate in Bristol
A Bristol company Fry and son made a
‘chocolate delicioux a manger’ in 1847 that the
first bar of chocolate as we know it today.
 The first milk chocolate bar was made in 1875
by Swiss man called Daniel Peter who added
powdered milk.
 Another Swiss invented the conching machine in
1879 which refined chocolate giving it the
smooth texture we know today.

How chocolate is made
By Liam Lizzie Poppy Brook and
Abakuse.
1.
It all starts from a tree – a cocoa tree.
cocoa farmers harvests the pods they
used a long handle knife to cut them
down.
2.The farmers then cut the pods open to
reveal cocoa beans covered in pulp.
3. Then farmers then lay banana leaves on
the ground and they then leave them to
ferment for seven days. This makes the
beans change colour and gives them their
chocolate flavour.
4.After they have been fermented, they put
them on a drying table.
5. When the drying is complete they take
the beans in a sack to a person called the
Recorder. He's the person who keeps the
accurate weighing scale.
Then the sack get sealed, loaded onto ships
and transported across the world.

Milk chocolate has some cocoa nib in it. It
also has milk powder in it and a bit of
cocoa butter too.
The unhealthiest chocolate.
The unhealthiest chocolate is white
chocolate because it has more cocoa butter
and sugar in it.
More importantly, it doesn't have any
nib in it at all!
