Vegan Chocolate - It Exists!
At first glance, vegan chocolate might seem like an impossible fantasy. Can you steer clear of all animal products while still enjoying the luscious flavour of chocolate? Whether you want the vegan chocolate for yourself or a friend, or whether you're strictly vegan or just trying to avoid dairy products, you'd love to get your hands and tastebuds onto vegan chocolate. Is vegan chocolate possible? Or do vegans forever have to put up with ersatz carob substitutes while others enjoy the delights of true chocolate?
The History of Chocolate, Cocoa Beans and The Cacao Tree
The history of chocolate is one that goes back centuries through many cultures. Chocolate is known for its cultivation, processing, taste, presentation and psychology. The history of chocolate is in many ways the history of the Americas, from the ancient Mayans to the theft of "the secret", and has made its way through Europe eventually returning to the Americas. The history of chocolate is almost as interesting as the confection itself, and as interesting as the tastes that cocoa can produce when crafted by experts into fine chocolates and chocolate is as unique as the options available to the chocolate consumer.
Consider Starting a Chocolate Tasting Club
If you've received a gourmet chocolate gift basket and need a way to avoid the temptation, and the pounds, consider using it as a basis for a chocolate tasting club.
