Cacao was first domesticated in Mesoamerica. It is believed that Olmecs domesticated cacao approximately 4,000 years ago in the area of Mexico but other evidence suggests that Mayans domesticated it about 5,000 years ago in the area of Ecuador. Evidence also suggests that cacao was also domesticated in Honduras approximately 3,500 years ago. Cacao was introduced in Europe, West Indies and the Philippines by Spaniards and later Europeans introduced it in Asia and West Africa.

Cacao is a very important commodity and nowadays it is cultured in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil, and Ecuador to name a few.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
