| | VIA Online: Chocolate Makers in the West |
 | | Chocolate, says Carl Keen, a professor in the department of nutrition at UC-Davis, is rich in flavonoids, the same components that have made green tea and red wine famous as health-enhancing beverages. |
 | | Chocolate spread throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries and was first manufactured in America in 1765. |
 | | Guittard Chocolate Company, the oldest family-run chocolatier in the United States, is now in Burlingame, south of San Francisco, and supplies chocolate to See's Candies, a much-loved candy maker that has been crafting filled chocolates in the West since 1921. |
