The Jamaica Cocoa Farmers’ Association (JCFA) would like to invite its members to our Annual General Meeting which will be held on May 16, 2013 at the PCJ Auditorium (36 Trafalgar Rd, Kgn 10) starting at 10:00 am.
We look forward to seeing you there.
It is recorded that Sir Hans Sloane was introduced to cocoa as a drink in Jamaica during his stay in the 1680's. He apparently found it 'nauseous' but mixing it with milk made it more palatable.
He took this chocolate recipe to England on his return where it was manufactured and at first sold by apothecaries as a medicine. Much later, Cadburys manufactured chocolate using Sloane's recipe.
