The origins of chocolate, which is derived from  the Theobroma cacao tree, stretch back at least 4000  years.The plant is believed to have originated in the Amazon or  Orin â¦ oco basins in South America and was regarded by the Aztecs as  being of divine origin ('Theobroma' means 'food of the  gods').
The chocolate enjoyed by later Mesoamerican civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs was made from ground cacao seeds with added seasonings, producing a spicy, frothy drink. The Spanish brought cacao back to Europe in the 16th century and many chocolate innovations have occurred in the ensuing centuries. The scientists used chemical analysis of residues extracted from pottery vessels from the Honduran site to determine that cacao had been used.
