A view of the cocoa farm at Water Valley, St. Mary, now undergoing major rehabilitation.

Hans Sloane, the noted physician, scientist and collector was introduced to cocoa as a drink in Jamaica during his stay in the 1680's. He found it 'nauseous' but by mixing it with milk made it more palatable. He brought this chocolate recipe to England on his return where it was manufactured and at first sold by apothecaries as a medicine. Much later, Cadburys manufactured chocolate using Sloane's recipe.
