TASTING THE FOOD OF THE GODS: THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL HISTORIES OF CHOCOLATE







08Feb2019
From 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Join University of Cincinnati’s Drs Maria Paz Moreno and Eric Tepe for a
talk on the fascinating topic of Theobroma cacao, i.e. the chocolate tree,
exploring both the botanical and historical aspects of chocolate, as well as its
cultural significance throughout the centuries. From its role in the sacred
ceremonies of the Maya and Aztec peoples to becoming a rare treat for
17th century European nobility and the widely available commodity that
it is today, the history of this “dark gold” and the tree that produces
it will not leave you indifferent.  
Reservations Required. Free and open to the public.
Doors open with refreshments at 6 p.m., lecture begins at 7 p.m.
