The most commonly consumed style of chocolate today is a product of the industrial revolution and can trace its roots back to an innovation introduced in 1847.

This session of TheChocolateLife :: LIVE will explore many different styles of chocolate, from the most ancient to the most modern, from the “old world” to the new, and many places in between and off the beaten path.

### **About the Featured Image**

Before (left) and after (right) versions of the Featured image; the original was taken in Tabasco, Mexico in November 2019.

When I was thinking about this post I was looking for images that spoke to me of the idea of **rustic**. While I really do like the blue of the original image, I wanted to bring out the texture of the wall surface and keeping the intensity of the blue turned out to be difficult.

Pushing the color to something more neutral but warmer at the same time in the process of bringing out the texture in the wall also enhanced the red in the metal bit at the bottom was an unexpected bonus.
