Peruvian+chocolate

The Amazon rainforest consists of many trees, inclouding the ever so popular Cacao Tree. The tree was first encountered by Europeans during Christopher Columbus's Voyage. After this discovery, Europeans used the cocao from the tree to make a drink they called “loathsome.” But it was not until the seventeenth century that people started adding sugar with the bean to make the sweet treat we know today. This creation was spread throughout the world quickly, and soon groups people around the world started to add other ingredients, making chocolate treated that were unique to different cultures.

In Peru the most known type of chocolate is called Piura. This chocolate has won many awards for its quality of taste. For example, it won for the best chocolate in London and Peru itself. The Piura chocolate is very rich in cacao beans which gives it a pure taste of the actual bean itself.

The impact that Peruvian chocolate has left and is continuing to leave, is that it is an example of how great the cacao bean can be. Also you can tell that Peru is trying its best to create an industry in chocolate through the variations of taste.
