History of Belgium Chocolates
Belgium was introduced to the cocoa bean during the 17th century when the nation was ruled by Spain (whose explorers discovered the fruit in South America). Chocolate was first enjoyed as a drink rather than as a food and no where was there a more regal place to enjoy a drink of the dark mixture than in the beautiful Grand Place. That’s just where many a royal, artist and others of nobility experienced their first taste of chocolate.
