   The history of chocolate dates back over 5,000 years. The cacao tree is native to the tropics of the Americas. The cocoa bean was first domesticated at least 5,300 years ago in what is present-day southeast Ecuador ( Zamora-Chinchipe Province) by the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, before being introduced in Mesoamerica.
