Belize is the World's True Cradle of Chocolate | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The BBC has a great article about chocolate in Belize.  AJAW Chocolate in Cayo is one of many mentioned. 

 

"There are nearly a dozen artisan chocolate companies in Belize taking cacao from bean to bar, part of a robust movement to reclaim the small country's rich chocolate heritage...

 

Cacao – the principal ingredient for chocolate – was both consumed and used as currency by ancient Maya royalty and political elites throughout the historical region of Mesoamerica, which included southern North America and most of Central America. But not all those areas were suitable for cultivating cacao."
