cocoa

Among the delicacies that most conquer big and small gluttons, cocoa is certainly one of the musts in the world of sweets - and in some countries with Iberian gastronomic tradition, also in dishes based on white meat and fish - which makes everyone happy. Originally, however, this precious and highly sought after drupe only offered cocoa as it is normally known, bitter: it was Spanish monks who transformed it into something sweet, using sugar and, in combination, also vanilla. The spread of this specialty throughout the world definitively occurred during the nineteenth century.
