The first European who can rightly claim the "discovery" of cocoa is Christopher Columbus. In 1502, during his last voyage to the Caribbean, he lands on the island of Guanaja, before the coast of present-day Honduras.
He was greeted by the Aztec who offered him a bag of cocoa beans in exchange for trade goods. Columbus failed to grasp the importance of these beans, more so, he detests the beverage prepared from these beans, which is known as Xocolatl (or tchocolatl). And he returns to Spain without realising the economic importance of these cocoa beans.
