Abstract
Cocoa is an ingredient that pierced many iron curtains and is consumed from the poles to the equator with virtually no cultural and social distinctions. It is a food imposed, adapted and transmigrated more than any other else. Some doubts or false certainties about history of cocoa and chocolate in Abruzzo should be sweep away. Cocoa arrived in Abruzzo before potatoes and corn, peppers and watermelons but never gained celebrity and never was considered traditional and typical of Abruzzo having the main drawback, compared to other alien ingredients, of not growing in the local climatic conditions and then condemned to be imported. Its a main disadvantage of being well covered by a foreign monopoly but cocoa has now taken a big rematch in Abruzzo.
