Chocolate from Spain?? Of course, if you think about it. Spain introduced this New World product to Europe in the 16th Century. The medieval city of Barcelona was one of the earliest producers on artisan chocolate in the world, beginning in the 1500’s.

Eventually the chocolate spread to the Spanish possessions such as the Spanish Netherlands (including modern day Belgium). In the first 100 years after the Spanish explorers brought chocolate back, it was exclusively enjoyed by Spaniards. It was not until the 20th Century that chocolate houses were supplanted by coffee houses.

Blanxart’s history starts almost 500 years later, at a rented ground floor located on the Les Corts neighborhood in Barcelona.
