MOST EXPENSIVE and EXTRAVANGANT CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD 2022


La Madeline au Truffe
Knipschildt's La Madeline au Truffe, from US Connecticut-based company Knipschildt’s lineup, was recognized by Forbes Magazine as the most expensive chocolate in the world.

La Madeline au Truffle, the ganache (the fancy, French way of saying chocolate paste) is crafted using 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil, and vanilla, and features a rare French Perigord truffle at its center. All these ingredients are expertly put together, creating this mouthwatering masterpiece


HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY
The history of chocolate can be traced back to 450 B.C., originating from Mesoamerica, present-day Mexico. The word “chocolate” is derived from the Nahuatl word, “chocolatl,” meaning “hot water” and the Aztec word, “xocoatl,” meaning “bitter water.”

About 4,000 years ago, the Olmecs began refining cocoa beans into chocolate, which they used as medicine and as part of customary rituals. Centuries later, chocolate was assimilated into the Mayan culture as a beverage and for concluding important transactions.

Cocoa beans were once perceived as being so valuable that they were used as a currency by the Aztecs, who believed that the beans were a gift from the gods. Its potency was so revered that natives drank it in preparation for war.

According to legend, chocolate found its way to Spain in the 16th century through Hernan Cortes, a Spanish explorer who discovered cocoa during his journey to the Americas. From then on, chocolate soon spread to other parts of Europe.

The time-consuming process required to produce chocolate made it an expensive treat, which was restricted to the upper class. In 1828, however, the chocolate press was invented by a Dutch chemist called van Houten, eliminating the problem. The machine was able to squeeze roasted cocoa beans in order to obtain the fine cocoa powder used to make chocolate. This not only made chocolate more accessible to the common man, but also mass production possible.

In the 20th century, chocolate is still being enjoyed all over the world, in a wide variety of exciting flavors and formulas. Cocoa is now grown and exported from over fifty countries, at over 4.7 million tons a year.
