The history of Belgian chocolate Shortly after the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, another Spanish explorer, Hernán Cortés, reached Mexico and was given cocoa beans by the local people, the Aztecs. He sailed back to Europe with his holds full of cocoa beans. Following his return, the cocoa-flavoured drink quickly became popular among the Spanish aristocracy and the clergy, and it remained a well-kept secret in the upper realms of Spanish society. In the early 17th century an Italian merchant, Francesco Carletti, revealed the Spanish secret after tasting a similar drink in South America. The secret then spread rapidly throughout Europe. In those days the cities of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp were under Spanish rule and were governed by Charles the Fifth. The cocoa beans passed through the Belgian ports on their way to the rest of the Europe, and Belgian confectioners were soon able to access this new resource. Drawing on their creativity and talent, they created their own chocolate recipes. That is how Belgian chocolate originated.
