Oaxaca, Mexico 墨西哥瓦哈卡州

　　The ancient Mesoamericans were the world’s first chocolatiers and Mexico has continued to produce chocolate ever since. Today in Oaxaca, residents have embraced chocolate as a part of their culture and it seems visitors to the city can’t walk down the street without being offered chocolate in some form, whether it is hot chocolate, chocolate pastry

　　or chocolate candy. While there are major chocolate producers based here, a lot of Oaxaca’s chocolate is made with old family recipes the old-fashioned way, ground either by hand or with electric grinders and mixed by hand。

　　古代的中美洲人是世界上最早的巧克力制造者，从那时起墨西哥人就一直在生产巧克力。如今在墨西哥瓦哈卡州，居民们将巧克力视作他们文化的一部分，而在游客看来，在该城要想穿过一条街而不被提供任何形式的巧克力简直是不可能的。尽管当地也有大的巧克力制造商，但瓦哈卡州的大部分巧克力还是在家庭作坊里用传统方法生产的。
