Split Bean Coffee's - Feb 2007 - Flavor of The Month - Chocolate




FEB 2007 - FLAVOR OF THE MONTH - CHOCOLATE



Welcome to our Flavor of the Month Page. Be sure to visit us often as our Monthly Special Flavors change at least once a month. This month's featured flavor is chocolate. We are also extending our Coconut Flavored Alfajores, and Marshmallows for an additional month.

Chocolate or Xocolatl is native to the Central America. Made from the cacao beans, and first cultivated by the Olmecs and Mayas over 2000 years ago. To the native Meso-Americans, Xocolatl was a both a sacred drink as well as a valued commodity often use a currency. The drink was made with a mix of ground cacao seeds with various seasonings including spicy chilies and a touch of honey, and made into a semi-bitter frothy drink.

Later, the Spanish conquistadors brought the seeds back home to Spain, where new recipes were created and the chili was replaced with almonds and oriental spices such as cinnamon, and cloves. For decades, the Spaniards held a monopoly in the consumption and preparation of chocolate, but eventually the drink’s popularity spread throughout Europe. Since then, new technologies and innovations have changed the texture and taste of chocolate, but it still remains one of the world’s favorite flavors.

Chocolate has come a long way from it's sacred origins and today it is available world wide. Available in thousands of flavor blends, chocolate is perhaps only rivaled by vanilla as a flavoring in desserts.
Try our Chocolate/Dulce de Leche Filled Alfajores, or our Chocolate covered alfajores. We also carry artisan truffles and chocolate flavore marshmallows! Our DEADLINE for Valentine's 2007 is Feb 07, 2007
