Mexican Chocolate Wrapper Facts! You must know, that most of chocolate bars in Mexico are small. Bars weight between 9 and 25 g (0.74OZ). The traditional and well known "vaquita" bar from several manufacturers weight around 9 to 12 grams (0.325OZ). Big chocolate bars in Mexico are scarce and expensive. 60g (1,15OZ) Bars sometimes cost more than $3.00USD , even more expensive than 100g (3,5 OZ) Lindt Chocolate Bars imported from Switzerland. Despite Chocolate as such had its origin in Mexico, today the country is not a representative producer in the world. For instance, the well known confectionery "RICOLINO" has introduced in 2001, Bar Chocolates imported from Austria.
The tale of how chocolate was invented. Historians say, that when spaniards arrived to Tenochtitlan (today Mexico City), Aztecs used to prepare a beverage made of cocoa, water and peppermint. They liked so much the mix that they even considered it a drug because of its exquisite taste. Time after, nuns at a abbey, mixed cocoa and milk which they named it "chocolate". The rest is history. If you are interested in more chocolate or cocoa facts, I invite you to visit the International Organization for Cocoa http://www.icco.org |
¡Hechos sobre las envolturas de chocolate de México! Debes saber, que la mayoría de las barras de chocolate disponibles en México son pequeñas. La mayoría de las barras pesan entre 9 y 25 gramos, como la tradicional "vaquita," de casi todas las marcas, la cual pesa entre 9 y 12 gramos. Las barras grandes de chocolates en México son escasas y caras. Por ejemplo, barras locales de chocolate de 40 gramos pueden llegar a costar hasta $30 pesos ($3.00USD), incluso mas caras que las barras de 100 gramos de Lindt importadas de Suiza. A pesar de que el chocolate tuvo su origen en México, hoy en día el pais no es un productor importante de chocolate en el Mundo. Como ejemplo, la bien conocida marca de dulces "RICOLINO" ha introducido en el 2001 , Barras de Chocolate importadas de Austria.
La anécdota de como el chocolate fué inventado. Los historiadores dicen, que cuando los españoles llegaron a la Ciudad de Tenochtitlan, (hoy Ciudad de México) los Aztecas preparaban una bebida hecha de cacao, agua y algunos pimientos. A los españoles les gustó dicha bebida a la que incluso llegaron a considerar como una droga por su exquisito sabor. Tiempo después, unas monjas en un convento en México mezclaron cacao molido y leche a la que denominaron Chocolate. El resto es historia.
