The History of Chocolate

Claire Benjamin, owner of Rue Claire Lavender Farm, will share the history of our favorite sweet - Chocolate. This delectable treat has been around for over 4000 years. It was discovered in the Amazon by the Mayas and Aztecs. They mixed it with other spices to make a spicy, frothy drink. Claire will spin the tale of chocolate. The program is free and open to the public. Some of “Rue Claire’s” chocolates will be available for sampling. For further information please call the Society at 315-568-8412.
