How I Make Primitive Maya Chocolate

- The chocolate of today is very different from its primitive form derived from the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) native to Mesoamerica. In this video, I show the primitive process of making chocolate from raw cocoa beans from Mexico. You could say that my hut turned into a chocolate factory.

Me encantó hacer este video y me encanta el chocolate primitivo. Espero que disfruten este video. ¡Gracias!
맛좋은 초콜렛!
Спасибо за ваши видео , Вы как то говорили что Вас перестали смотреть, как я думаю Вам надо добавить постановы в свои видео( я уважаю Ваш выбор снимать (типа) реальность без купюр) но в нынешних реалиях это не то. Я всё ждал когда Вы закончите свой домик(дымоходная труба должна быть выше крыши и по техники безопасности и для лучшей тяги ) . И хотел обратить ваще внимание на Русскую печь . вы примерно повторили её мини версию но не продумали чутка , дымоход мог стать вашей кроватью. Успехов Вам И вашим близким, с прошедшими и будущими праздниками . не болейте!

That was Amazing stuff there and sweet, pun intended, love brother. Peace be with you.
I've seen chocolate made from raw cacao on other channels, but never this primitively before. Most of them use a food processor. 😏 I'm guessing dates would ALSO make a good sweetener for your chocolate too, or stevia for a sugar free version. Hard to believe something THAT delicious is THAT good FOR you.😋
Not only is this guy entertaining, he's also very educational, and that is something rare in these times. Buddy, if you're reading this, keep up the good work, i'm a huge fan!
Thanks buddy! I really appreciate the love. More coming soon. I'm thinking of new ideas.

A true Chad.
His videos seem sacred in a way.
Chocolate is made in a similar manner in Jamaica...it is beaten in a mortar . Some people add pimento (allspice), nutmeg and cinnamon to it while it is being beaten. It is placed on a piece of banana leaf and shaped. To prepare the drink it is then grated and boiled in hot water and coconut milk and sweetened to taste. Add pinch of salt and strain....delicious
Literally the best primitive channel to ever exist. 10/10
Thank you! Thank you!

Long ago in school, I did learn about the Aztecs. I also heard that they used vanilla in their chocolate drink. This was very fascinating. Chocolate doesn't agree with me, so I can't have it. Those chocolates still look good. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
I heard from Max Miller that they also added chili in their chocolate, and I tried this once with cayenne in choccy, and let me tell you, it is a good coffee alternative if you don't have access to coffee for the day
@@boid9761 they also made cold cocoa with mais
Dear @@boid9761
Please kindly allow me to suggest that you watch the famous movie "Chocolat" (2000) from director Lasse Halström with Johnny Depp, Juliet Binoche, Alfred Molina etc p.p..
Amongst other things one can learn a lot about chocolate from watching the movie.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@Chr.U.Cas2216 - good movie. Saw it years ago and agree. It has so much info on cocoa and chocolate.
I read once that a vessel with chocolate and chili residues was found as far north as Utah.
CZcams is regressing (too much useless content) but Chad is a real find. 100% informative and also very exciting. Thank you for your efforts, Chad.
Awesome episode and also I never knew it got that cold there. That’s crazy.
There is no one like you. You are unique and a source of inspiration for so many who love nature to this deep level. big salute and love from your old fan from Pakistan!🥰
Thank you. Most people will never understand why I do what I do but I bet you do.
@@ChadZuberAdventures definitely yes and its truly inspirational. God will always bless you mark my word because you are so close to nature.
Clearly you haven't watched "Primitive Technology" an Ausie Guy with 10M subs.
@@ChadZuberAdventures i would Love to follow your paths. Dammed City Life
Inspiration yes.. but there are many more that do the exact same thing. Everyone is unique in their own way but lots of people live like this
Hi! I am from Taiwan. I am Taiwan Indigenous.
Since I saw your Wild Survival videos, I've been so hopeful in my live.
Be an indigenous, we do also have a same situation,
I can teach you how could we make use of the plant and fiber to hunt.
Btw, you are super awesome! We love you. In the 2023, wish everything good for you!
Thank you Iwan. Blessings to you. May 2023 be a wonderful year for you.
The dead juniper tree isn't just the best hardware store in town it's also a state of nature exercising machine!
Yep, that too! Juniper Fitness.
Here in the Philippines.. We call it tablia... Its like chocolate without sugar.. And can be use for champorado... Love your work chad... Always be safe
I know champorado. Very good.
es super
Love the tiny mold you made for the primitive chocolate bar!
I'm so glad I thought of making the mold this way. It worked perfectly!
glad to revisit this place. Thank you for your video Chad
Thanks for watching
I can tell your hands have been through a lot by the way they tolerate that heat! Great video. Just so happens making homemade chocolate has been on my mind these past few weeks.
I thought the same thing, when I saw that he placed the stones
My hands and feet have become quite resistant. That's the advantage of not wearing shoes and gloves. People criticize me for it but it makes your skin tougher.
@Chad Zuber It really does make your skin tougher. As a kid I lived in the country and mostly never wore shoes, gloves or any of that sort, my skin was tough. Now, not anymore since I live in the city, and wear shoes, etc.
Valentine’s Day coming up in February. A nice opportunity to make a video with a chocolate feats. Man I’m so jealous. Wish I had access to where you can express yourself like this in a wilderness
Ah yes, primitive Valentine's Day!
he has to travel LONG distances to get to where he is
@@tribemaster101
Ah. 🤝
Oh bless your heart. I can't stay motivated when it's cold like that! Your primitive chocolates look good. I like bitters.
I have an idea for you. I learned recently that jojoba is a desert native plant, native to Arizona and Nevada. It's used widely in skin and haircare products. Maybe you can make a primitive hair and skin oil.
I know a place in the desert where a lot of jojoba grows. The nuts ripen in the summer and taste quite good, although they are more prized for the oil. However, I have not practiced extracting the oil yet. That would be a good experiment.
Mayan chocolate? Never heard of this. Sounds delightful🍫
It's just an early form of chocolate.
Who needs Willie wonka when you could get your candy from “Chocolate Chad”!
That's right!
Chad you are the most underrated primitive survival CZcamsr, it’s a shame that other people that fake their primitive survival skills overtake your channel.
That's the world we live in. Whether it be movies, television shows, the news, politics, advertising, everything is deception, lies, exaggerations of the truth due to the nature of human response. People respond to bizarre, crazy, sexy images so that's what is made and delivered. Real life is too boring and people fantasize about a reality that does not exist but is presented through social media and all other visual media. Unfortunately I have not been able to compete with that and am trying to find a way to continue making videos. Please forgive me for not uploading much lately, I just haven't had the time.
都有雪了还光膀子不冷吗？太令人敬佩了
My hut was also turned into a chocolate factory this evening. Thanks Taco Bell.
Hahahahahaha!
awesome. No comparison, but I made acorn meal and acorn flour. Very laborious as well. Thank you for posting
Yes, almost everything primitive is a lot of work.
Good to see you back at the old homestead. Chocolate 😋 yummy
It's always so good to be here.
Hi Chad, very cool, time consuming, but, cool. ;-) When you dropped the chocolate balls in the dish the sound was like pottery hitting pottery. Dense and heavy?
A mold! So ingenious. Enjoyed, tc till next time.
Yeah, the chocolate balls are very dense much like a ball of clay.
Wonderful marvelous Chad! Thank you so much!
Hey bro, firstly, I hope you've been keeping warm. It looks absolutely frdgid in the desert. Secondly, this is another cool video, I've never had the chance (yet) to eat raw cocoa beans, though I do have raw cocoa powder in my pantry, and it does taste as bitter as i'm assuming the beans are. Glad to see things are progressing at the hut.
Yeah, it's winter but I'm accustomed to winter here. Raw cocoa powder from a store will definitely be a little different than what I make on a rock but it's still just as bitter.
The 2 things uve made that I’ve wanted to try the most were the acorn pancakes n now the chocolate balls. Well done.
Hahhaa, the chocolate balls are tricky. I practiced a lot before doing this video.
Have you considered building an adobe woodshed? One with gaps between the long bricks, glued together with mud only where they cross over by a few inches so that air can pass through from all side, forming a sort of gingham checkerboard look, and then roofed in bark of course. Even though there will be wind openings, the bricks as well as roof will help keep the rain off the wood even if the prevailing winds blow the drops at an angle (presuming the access opening is on the leeward side).
Yes, definitely. I just haven't had the time but I'm going to be making some changes in my work and dedicate more time to projects out here.
HE likes some stones as well wiht that chocolate!!
I enjoy watching your videos, as it feels peace of living in primitive life.
Всегда приятно смотреть дорогого Chad Zube 😀👍
What's better than ASMR ? A primitive ASMR, keep it up Chad!
I’m glad you like it
Great video, I really love to see the history of the things we use today
Yumm! Those are some special treats😊
Love chocolate❤
I absolutely respect and admire what you do. I’m very grateful you choose to share your experiences
I appreciate that very much
As a cacao farmer it was funny to watch you process the cacao in winter weather. Here is tropical all year. Cheers for the video and information.
Where do you farm cacao?
Yeah, I needed the best of the fire to make chocolate.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Northwestern mountains of Puerto Rico :)
Love the work Chad, you never seem to disappoint me and everyone else. Keep up the great work and now I feel like some chocolate haha
Thanks! I'm enjoying these chocolates often.
I don't know why but watching you do what you love and teaching us something brings me quite a bit of joy and the magnificent and handsome Rufo. Thank you for recording and posting what you do its awesome also we need more rufo if possible :D. Thank You
Thank you! Rufo misses all of you too. You can see him on his Instagram account @rufo_is_his_name_o
Las imágenes grabadas de noche, le dan al vídeo un toque mágico.
Estar aquí es mágico. En el video se puede transmitir solamente 1% de la realidad de este lugar.
OOO, you could also dip your prickly pear candy in the chocolate!! Woohooo!!
Yep, I've made this with dried prickly pear too and it is great.
Ooo looks fun.
I've been busy surfing back on the sunshine coast australia at point cartwright with the turtles and dolphins.
(BTW my favorite stretching is the take the pizza upstairs qi gong)
Wow! You're in Australia now? Man, you get around! What is that stretch?? Take the pizza upstairs qi gong????
I've also heard cocoa and peppers are a yummy combination in meat dishes.
I haven't experimented with that yet. Thanks for sharing.
It’s crazy how younger than 50 you look, like before seeing your 50th birthday celebration video I would have said that you were something like 35-42 years old
Nature is good to the body
واقعا از دیدن این ویدیو لذت بردم بخصوص در هوای سرد.. چقدردوست داشتم در آن کلبه باشم...
Well, that was awesome.
I'm super happy about this episode food is not only there to keep us alive and healthy but in almost every culture we make celebratory food for sharing and bringing a community together. So should you get any company you'll have reason to celebrate and drink to celebrate
Food is life but as a culture develops technologically food becomes easier to acquire and control thus allowing more time and energy for art and culture.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm going to share my grans secret with you lol (and anyone else that reads this 😅 sorry Granny) my gran used to put dehydrated horehound in fruit leather. She made it with a bit of honey. It was to keep us from being sick and keep our souls warm.
@@jenreal360 Oh nice, the original cough drops of the previous century. I read about those.
This was a really enjoyable and interesting video. I appreciate the long length that you generously edited this to.
A long video is the only way to capture more accurately the essence of this experience.
Enjoyed watching the process!
I was kinda hoping that you would make chocolate coated prickly pear bar.
I’ve actually made that before but not this video.
I love the content you create... thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. This is the kind of stuff that works when technology doesn't. Thank you for preserving and sharing "the old ways". Much respect from Alaska!
Thanks a lot man! Alaska! I've been to Sitka, Alaska twice to work the salmon season at the processing plant and one more time I went to hike and camp.
I really have an urge to sit in front of my wood stove and do something...maybe pound some sinew, or scrape my deer hide, maybe make TP from newspaper...but this whole working for the man thing really gets in the way of my primitive aspirations.
I totally understand you. I have recently had to start working for the man too so I can provide for my family. (They aren't into the primitive free life).
Chad, I'd choose your primitive chocolate over Hershey's any day.
Good choice!
This ain't Hershey!!!
It belongs to Chad!!!!😇😃
Your hands speak. Your perseverance is on another level. God bless and keep going .
Sometimes I think perseverance is just stupidity and stubbornness.
Beautiful. Great job!
I absolutely LOVE these videos mate - we've had a few days of 40 celcius plus down under and I've been waiting all year for your winter videos, they help my imagination wander off and sleep on the hot nights!! Awesome content mate keep it up, and definitely going to try this one myself!
Thanks mate! I put a lot of heart and soul into this one. STAY COOL !!!!
Whoopee Timothy! That is approx. 4F! Keep warm friend.
That was awesome primitive style chocolate making i seen
Sending love and support from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you!
Firstly thank you for pumping out the videos we all enjoy. Secondly as a side comment ive recently got into gardening at the worst time(winter😂) and wonder if you were open to planting crops for yourself. Im in SoCal and assuming you have similar climate. By far had most success with potatoes, pumpkin, and dragonfruit. Either way keep up the great content, always look foward to a new video!
Good luck with your gardening. In SoCal there are a lot of crops that grow well in the winter, especially greens like lettuce, spinach, cilantro, onions, etc. The climate at my hut is not good for many crops. The nights are freezing in the winter so that eliminates most crops. The summers start out super hot and dry making it very difficult to even start a crop and then it becomes humid and rains a lot. If I can get a crop to survive the months of April, May, and June then I have a good chance at a successful crop. I tried last year and almost had success with the squash but everything else died quick.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I appreciate that even at how big your channel is you still answer comments. Love your content and thank you hopefully will grow watermelons this summer👍
@@matchdust7049 I don't get many views any more so it's a lot easier to reply to comments now.
thank you for everything man, we learned so many things from you and not only that but you also gave us a rough example of how life used to be ... I cant go and do the same thing you do, even tho it's my dream to spend a month in a woods or in any place where I can be with the world alone. I still have a lot to learn before I do the "same" but I hope i will learn more from you.
Thank you. I will continue to share what I’ve learned.
Ich finde das sooo Toll lieben dank. Grüsse aus der Schweiz.😎
Hi Chad, great video, very informative and interesting. Loved the chocolate bar and kiss.
Thank you!
I love how you made hot chocolate. I think the Mayans also added chilli into it.
Yes, there is a lot of evidence that they did.
I’m newly subbed. There is such beauty and purity in your chosen life 😊💛
Welcome to the adventure! 💪
Very soothing to watch
Top notch work throughout, from the foundational levels to the refinements they have made possible for our host and his viewers who stand in awe and wonder in amazement.
Thanks a lot for the love.
Chad 🧡
Leslieeeee!!!!
Certainly relaxing to watch your video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
hi man, what you did is similar to a very common candy here in Brazil. Called "brigadeiro" And it is made of cocoa and condensed milk. You are nice!!!
Mmmm, that sounds really good. I will make that. Thanks for sharing.
brigadeiro é uma maravilha, até aqui em Portugal
cara não me pareceu nada com brigadeiro. já que a maioria do brigadeiro é leite condensado, e apenas um pouco de chocolate pra saborizar, fora que o processo é diferente porque precisa ser cozido. Só lembra um pouco pq eles fez bolinhas...
Entendi
You have my utmost respect Chad, I so much enjoy your video's. Just amazing, keep up the excellent work. Thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate that so much.
Chad Zuber and a Chocolate’s Factory 😂
Hahahahahah
Looks really tasty Chad 👌
Yum!
i would love to do this sort of thing, crazy inspiring! keep it up
You just need a couple of good stones and whole cocoa beans.
That thery cool! Thanks for the video)
Outstanding Work
Hola Chad! Use a pottery or anything else hollow for bees to collect honey for you and instead of sugar use honey and cocoa... You will find amazing this combination and since you will use both raw and clean materials this will act as the perfect chocolate and ingredience for your body...
No bees around at this time of year. They will return in the spring.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Yeap, forgot about it but keep it for the time when you see some or you can catch some from other place and put them at your area, havent search much about it but that should do!
@@Tekmirion The bees come to the water. Whenever I leave a container with water outside the bees will find it.
Man.. This makes me want to taste a piece of your hand-made primitive chocolate. hahaha! I don't like too sweet of a chocolate, either! So I bet your amount of sweets is just right for me! XD
Great video, as always!!
Maybe I will sell some.
Very delicious chocolate Mr Chad zuber
I recently bought coca pods with the flesh still on it. the flesh of the fruit was good. i tried to dry the beans/ seeds but i didnt get them dry enough and they molded :/ oh well i still have one more pod left
Oh yeah, the pulp is delicious and sweet. Yeah, you must dry them in the sun.
Tengo una pequeña plantación de cacao en mi jardín,hice chocolate y la verdad luego de unos días las bolas de cacao se tornaron duras son buenas para rasparles al café caliente luego de endurecidas. Saludos Chad
Exactamente! Yo lo uso así. Raspo las bolsas de chocolate con un cuchillo.
Muito inspirador, já produzi chocolate assim dessa forma, porém não ficou em pasta, mas sim em pó.
Thanks for doing another cooking video!
My pleasure. I love cooking videos because of the immediate reward - food to eat!
Yay I'm first! What do I win? Jk. I've been drinking my ka kau with ceyanne pepper n cinnamon to reduce the insulin spike. I'm trying this.
That’s great! Let me know how it works.
maravilloso!! yo siendo un adicto al chocolate me ha dado mucha gana de catarlo 😋 la verdad que eres una fuente de conocimiento hombre !!!! 👍 el que sabe lo que tú sabes pienso que puede sobrevivir en las circunstancias las más difícil , y además creo que lo has demostrado muy bien a través de tus vídeos !!!
Muchas gracias Juan. Pues, estoy aprendiendo todavía. Nuestros antepasados sabían muchísimo más y ellos son mi motivación.
Wow. That’s so cool!
Very interesting how to survive under extreme circumstances.
Very few people can do the work you do sir because today's model people are tied to luxurious life. No one wants to understand nature but you understand nature ❤️✨
Anyone can do this but most are afraid of discomfort and the unknown.
@@ChadZuberAdventures ✅
@@ChadZuberAdventures There is also modern "educated affluence", where store-bought food are expected to be sweet, rich & savory
You're really incredible...So much patience!
Simply put, I love your videos
Thanks!
Seus vídeos são uma obra de arte irmão da até vontade de ir para algum lugar parecido com esse e fazer o mesmo que você faz. Seus vídeos são inspiradores.parabems pelo conteúdo!
Muito obrigado irmão. Abração.
Chad creo que descubrí una forma de obtener hierro con carbón, tierra y arcilla la cual al mezclar, hacer esferas de esta combinación y calentar con un horno de fundición con un alimentador de llamas primitivos al sacarlas los minerales logran juntarse en pequeños fragmentos de metal con los cuales si juntas los suficientes puedes hacer herramientas como cuchillos, hachas, azadas entre otras cosas el proceso es bastante complicado y agotador pero se puede lograr, si no aun esta la opción de las herramientas de piedra: recomendación utilizar las que están en fuentes de agua y al impactar tienen un sonido agudo son las de mejor filo y resistencia
No sé. Hay que explorar posibilidades.
These videos are fabulous and very interesting Sir keep them coming please ...best wishes from Falkirk Scotland.
Thank you…only those who remember the old ways will live to see the future ❤
Parabéns chad admiro muito vc é o q vc faz,seu trabalho pra fazer seus alimentos nos faz pensar em como vivemos na cidade com as facilidades. Muitas vezes nos sentimos seres inúteis.
É muito interesante aprender como nossos antepassados viviam. Nada era fácil mas era melhor.
Useless beings?? What a terrible thing to say. Maybe you have felt as a useless being, but I have never thought of myself or anyone else as a "useless being".✝️

Thanks for sharing your outstanding 👏 coco paste and maple syrup chocolate 🍫 delicious ❤❤❤❤
So good
I LOVE your vids. I always find myself making mental notes of things you do so I can practice when primitive camping with others who enjoy bushcraft. I noticed you like using the long oval rock on the flat surface, might I entice you to the idea of a mortar and pestle? I promise you it makes turning things into powders very satisfying and keeps all of the material in a safe bowl too! Stay warm and I wish you the best!! 💪❤👍
Yes, a mortar and pestle is great for making flour and powder but as you can see in this video cocoa powder is not the goal. I have a mortar and pestle here too but I use this method as shown in the video because I'm making cocoa paste. It can be done in a mortar and pestle but it's more difficult.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Interesting. I never knew that. I figured the cold grind you introduced might help create fine little chunklets you could then turn into the cocoa paste. I now see why you're the expert and why I've still got much to learn! Thank you for your insight and the videos you post! 😁
I can't say anything for this....
Just awesome!!!
😊
Interesante video
Sobretodo el detalle de como se comporta el cacao en frio y con calor bueno y sobretodo Delicioso!
Es muy interesante. Es un arte verdadero.
