Chocolate Week
Posted on 9th October 2007
Did you know that chocolate was first created by the Mesoamerican civilization, and cultivated by Mayans and Aztecs?
Join us next week to celebrate this, and other fascinating chocolate facts, during Chocolate Week, the biggest, most indulgent chocolate celebration the UK has ever enjoyed!
The word ‘chocolate’ actually originates from a Nahuatl word meaning “bitter water”.
Divine Chocolate are one of the sponsors this year, which means that even more people will get a chance to sample the delights of Divine's Fairtrade and Organic chocolate selection.
Divine is made with Fairtrade-labelled cocoa beans from Kuapa Kokoo - a cooperative of smallholder farmers in Ghana.
Buy fair trade chocolate and you'll be supporting farmers and their families in countries like Ghana, Nepal and Bolivia.
