About Us

The story behind the name "Mayans Chocolate" takes us back to the origins of chocolate in Mesoamerica, specifically the Mayans civilization. While many associate chocolate with European history, it was the Mayans who first discovered and cultivated the cacao tree and enjoyed its unique properties.

The Mayans civilization, predominantly present in Guatemala, was known as "the birthplace of chocolate." During their period, chocolate was not the sweet and creamy treat we know today. Instead, it was consumed as a bitter and spicy cold drink. The Mayans recognized the medicinal effects of chocolate and valued it greatly for its healing properties.

The significance of chocolate in Mayan culture extended beyond its taste and medicinal benefits. The Mayans held the cocoa pod in high regard, using it as currency for trade and exchange of goods. It was also an integral part of religious ceremonies, symbolizing its spiritual and cultural importance.

Inspired by the rich heritage and significance of chocolate in the Mayan civilization, the name "Mayans Chocolate" pays homage to the origins of this beloved treat. It represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, combining the ancient Mayan appreciation for cocoa with our modern approach to crafting premium and artisanal chocolates.

At Mayans Chocolate, we strive to capture the essence of the Mayan heritage by creating exceptional chocolate products that honor the history, flavors, and symbolism of the Mayans' relationship with cocoa. Our name serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and cultural significance associated with chocolate, while also reflecting our commitment to quality, innovation, and the indulgent experience we offer to our customers.

In 2022, Mayans Chocolate embarked on a journey fueled by a deep appreciation for the Mayans' rich chocolate heritage.
