I was really excited to check out the Cincinnati Museum Center (because I'm a nerd).
But, I was even more excited when I learned they were having their Chocolate exhibition.
It was so cool and went through the history of chocolate throughout the centuries.
And, then we got to try some samples of chocolate!
I was surprised to find that I really didn't like most of them.
The chocolate that I have become accustomed to is very sweet - compared to the bittersweet or unsweet versions.
Chocolate hasn’t always been a bar. It hasn’t always been widely available. It hasn’t even always been sweet. Chocolate: The Exhibition tracks the rich history of the cacao bean, from its beginning as a royal — even divine — Maya drink to its current role as a romantic gesture, guilty pleasure and global commodity. Follow the history of chocolate culture and science from the 10th century rainforest to the modern-day corner store.
So, it's pretty neat to think about its journey.
