From bitter Aztec brews to gloriously thick, dunkable chocolate a la taza, this Poco a Poco episode of Ah Spain Podcast explores how Spain became Europe’s original chocolate trendsetter. We chat about conquistadors, monks with a sweet tooth, and how sugar and spices transformed cacao from a cold, spicy shock into a royal obsession. Naturally, we also confess our own lifelong love affair with Spanish chocolate—purely in the name of cultural research. Expect secret recipes, noble indulgence, and chocolate once considered practically medicinal. If you’re into Spanish food history, hot chocolate and churros, and the story behind Spain’s most comforting obsession, this episode is guaranteed to leave you craving more.
