Origins
The history of hot cocoa began in pre-Columbian America. Roasted cocoa beans were used to make the drink by the Mayans and Aztecs in what is now Mexico. They called it ''xocolātl'', or bitter water, considered it sacred and drank it whipped and flavored with various spices. According to available information, they sweetened this 'cocoa' with honey or agave nectar. In the 16th century, Mexico was conquered by the Spanish, and ''xocolātl'' was brought to Europe. It was almost immediately popular with both the nobility and religious dignitaries. But it took another 200 years before chocolate as we know it today was born. Hot cocoa is a beverage made from cocoa, sugar and milk that is heated and stirred until it forms a silky smooth, hot drink. The higher the quality of the cocoa powder and sugar, the more delicious the result.
Cocoa from the Dominican Republic is one of the best on the market. It is characterized by fruity and floral notes. These are obtained thanks to the unique climatic and soil conditions in which the true cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) grows. They're up to 10m tall and produce elongated berries containing several seeds, the cocoa beans. Removing them from the berries is quite difficult because they are encased in a thick and tough pulp. When the workers release the seeds, they leave them to ferment for 1-6 days, then dry them and send them to market. Cocoa processors use the cocoa beans to make cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
It should also be mentioned that cocoa from the Dominican Republic, one of the largest producers of organic cocoa in the world, is highly prized. It is sought after by premium chocolate manufacturers, and its price is not exactly the cheap. Cocoa contains several unique substances, including theobromine, caffeine, flavonoids, anandamide, phenylethylamine and minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc). The second crucial ingredient in this hot cocoa is coconut sugar, a natural sweetener produced from the nectar of the coconut palm tree flowers. Its advantages are a lower glycaemic index, a rich and complex flavor profile reminiscent of caramel and a delicate coconut aroma.
