What you didn’t know about chocolate | Merjem Hamzic | TEDxSarajevo

The talk explores the history of chocolate, beginning with its origins over 5,000 years ago with the Mayans and its divine status among the Aztecs. It traces chocolate's introduction to Europe in the 16th century and its transformation into solid bars with innovations like Dutch cocoa and milk chocolate in the 19th century. The process of making chocolate, from bean to bar, is detailed, along with concerns about labor exploitation and environmental impact. The talk contrasts industrial and artisanal chocolate, highlighting the importance of quality and production methods, and introduces four main types of chocolate: dark, milk, white, and ruby. It concludes by encouraging a mindful chocolate tasting experience to fully appreciate the journey of chocolate. Merjem Hamzić, a Libyan-born Bosnian national, embarked on a transformative journey from corporate banking to the sweet world of artisan chocolate. With over a decade of experience in the corporate banking sector, Merjem's entrepreneurial spirit led her to found Bashka Chocolatier, a Sarajevo-based company renowned for its exquisite handcrafted chocolates. Her fusion of cultural influences and passion for quality has not only elevated the artisan chocolate scene in Bosnia and Herzegovina but has also garnered international acclaim.
