The museum about the world of cocoa and chocolate


The Chocolate Story begins by telling the story of cocoa and ends by revealing the backstage of a real chocolate factory. Its mission is to make known this incredible and yet unknown journey for most people, despite the passion that chocolate arouses.

It was the favorite drink of the divine pantheon of Mesoamerican civilizations; it rocked the Old World, convincing the most illustrious monarchs and popes of the advantages of its consumption; it conquered the masses, became a bar, and entered the doors of all Western citizens, giving them energy to fight or to subsist in the toughest crises and challenges of human history. As it entered everyone’s daily lives, its production began to transform dramatically. From the lush vegetation of the Amazon, which saw the birth of cocoa, to the intense industries of the contemporary world, centuries of metamorphosis have passed.
There is always a great reason to eat chocolate and there are also many reasons to take this journey of discovery in The Chocolate Story.
