Chocolate of the Times

Chocolate is in the news. The last bastion of intellectual journalism in America, the New York Times, even has an online search category dedicated to chocolate. Last week, the Times covered the brew-haha over evidence of Central American cacao fermentation dating back to 1100 BC. And a couple of weeks ago, the travel section included a piece about artisanal chocolate in Tuscany, which featured an inviting photo of Amedei's rustic headquarters in Pontedera.

Subscribers to the Sunday Times will find at least seventeen mentions of chocolate in today's edition, in stories that touch on vegan cupcakes in Jersey and molecular gastronomy in Basque country.
