1. Barcelona, Spain.

If the universe were made from chocolate, Barcelona would be at the very center of it.

With Spain being the primary country to experience cacao upon arrival from the new world, as well as the inventor of the first chocolate making machine in 1780, Barcelona has a deep rooted history in chocolate. Strolling the streets around La Rambla and the Barri Gotic in particular, you are certain to wander by and experience Barcelona's love of chocolate. From the mountains of Bonbons filling the stands in the Mercat de la Boqueria, to the the old-time favorites such as Dulcinea and Fargas, fancy confections and hot chocolate are commonplace.

In 2015 Zotter made the Top 25 Chocolatiers in the World List which taste-tested 4,000 products from 550 brands in 70 countries. I wonder how you get a job as a chocolate taster for those awards?

5. Paris

In 1870 Tetteh Quarshie introduced the cocoa crops to Ghana (a pre-independence Ghanaian) which today constitute one of the major export crops of the Ghanaian economy. In 1847 Joseph Fry creates a moldable paste of cocoa powder, sugar and cocoa butter.Ghana is the second-largest producer of cocoa in the world, so the Ghana Tourism Authority recently launched its Cocoa Ecotourism Initiative to promote cocoa farms as a tourist attraction.

Chocolate is a essential part of Saint Lucia's legacy: The island has produced cacao for centuries. In the past, the island's cacao beans were exported to Europe or to Hershey, Pennsylvania to be made into chocolate; today, Saint Lucia keeps some cacao for its own chocolate production.

9. Switzerland.

The cows produce a more dense less aerated milk due to the fact they are at altitude and the milk they produce is officially refererred to as Alpine milk. These two main ingredients are an enormous part of the reason why Swiss chocolate is so famous.
