Summary "Cocoa and Chocolate: Their History from Plantation to Consumer" by Arthur W. Knapp is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the journey of cacao from its cultivation to its transformation into chocolate products, intended for the general reader rather than specialists. It delves into the history, cultivation, and manufacturing processes involved in creating chocolate, addressing both scientific and cultural aspects of this beloved commodity. The opening of the book introduces the author's intention to fill a gap in literature surrounding cacao and chocolate by providing accessible information for non-specialists. Knapp explains the various terms related to cacao, cocoa, and chocolate while emphasizing their historical significance. He begins with a sketch of the fascinating history of chocolate, referencing its deep roots in Aztec culture and its introduction to Europe by Spanish conquistadors. Through anecdotes and vivid imagery, the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of cacao cultivation, its economic importance, and the diverse influences shaping its journey to becoming a cherished consumer product.
