  • Chef’s notes: Today, confectionists, bakers and other culinary professionals use our Pure Chocolate Extract on its own or combined with courveture (quality chocolate with a higher concentration of cocoa butter) to intensify the chocolate flavor through layering. Use it at home whenever you want to accentuate chocolate flavor in sweets or baked goods.

Like vanilla, chocolate originated in Mexico and Central America, where it was cultivated by the native population for hundreds of years before they were conquered by the Aztecs. The name chocolate is derived from the Aztec word xocolatl, meaning “bitter water.” During Aztec rule, chocolate was consumed as a drink, which also contained ground corn, honey and vanilla. When the Aztec leader Montezuma served it to Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador was so astounded he demanded to know the ingredients.

Cortés eventually brought cocoa beans to Spain and Europe, where they were used solely for a hot chocolate drink for centuries by the upper classes. It wasn’t until 1847 that chocolate was consumed in solid form, when British chocolatier J.S. Fry and Sons developed the first-ever method for molding cocoa butter into chocolate bars, which soon became a worldwide favorite.

What Chefs Have to Say

About our products

It’s no secret, both for cooking and baking, always use the best ingredients. What’s the point of investing time to create something and use average ingredients? Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Paste are my favorites, as well as the Lemon Extract. I like using the Vanilla Bean Paste, as it is the closest to using fresh vanilla pods with all the glorious little seeds, and the consistency doesn’t interfere with the recipes.
