Storing Chocolate

The age of colonialism saw the
start of the spread of the cacao
tree, as did the introduction of
cacao beans and chocolate as well.
The first European to see cacao
was Christopher Columbus, on his
fourth and final voyage to the
Americas. A large dugout was seen
near an island off the coast of
Honduras, it was the largest
native vessel ever seen by the
crew. Described as being as long
as a galley, it was filled with
trade goods including cacao beans.
