World Chocolate Day

World Chocolate Day is celebrated annually on 7 July.

The day celebrates the history, cultural significance, and global popularity of chocolate, while encouraging people to enjoy chocolate and appreciate the craft of chocolate makers.

The date is commonly associated with the traditional belief that chocolate was first introduced to Europe on 7 July 1550, although historians note that the exact date is uncertain.

Do not confuse it with International Chocolate Day, which is observed annually on 13 September, a date associated with the birth anniversary of Milton S. Hershey.
