The Chocolate Museum was born as an initiative of the Provincial Guild of Pastry Chefs of Barcelona, located in the old convent of Sant Agustí. It represents a journey through the origins of chocolate, its arrival in Europe and its dissemination as an element located between myth and reality, between medicinal properties and nutritional value.
The historic building where the Museum is located already had a relationship with chocolate: in the 18th century the Bourbon army was a consumer of this product and according to the ordinances, chocolate was present on the menus of the military academies of that century. The halberdier corps, the king's personal guard, was called “ the chocolatiers” Well, being an elite body, I drank a lot of chocolate.
From the 15th century onwards, chocolate played an important role in the economic and social aspects of the city of Barcelona. In this way, the port acted as a starting point for the marketing and dissemination of the product throughout Europe.
