What's the Difference between Cacao and Cocoa?
The official name of the chocolate tree is Theobroma cacao but, some experts say, over the years the word "cacao" became Anglicized, and probably through error, people started replacing it with the word "cocoa". Now, with the rebirth of old-style, artisanal chocolate there is a movement to reclaim the bean’s rightful name: cacao (pronounced Ka-Kow). Today, it is common to see the words used interchangeably.
