Chocolate is made from roasted and ground cacao seeds that are made into a liquid, paste, or in a block. The earliest signs of use are associated with Olmec sites (within what would become Mexico’s post-colonial territory) suggesting consumption of chocolate beverages, dating from the 19th century BC. The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs. The English word “chocolate” comes, via Spanish, from the Classical Nahuatl word xocolātl.

The Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés may have been the first European to encounter it, as the frothy drink was part of the after-dinner routine of Montezuma.
