World Cocoa Day: The origin of the sweetness we love at Churromania®

Every July 7th, World Cocoa Day is celebrated, a day that pays tribute to the origin of one of the world's most beloved ingredients: cacao. This small but powerful fruit has not only given birth to chocolate, but has also been a symbol of culture, history, tradition, and connection between peoples.

At CHURRO MANIA®, we celebrate this holiday with enthusiasm because many of our most iconic products wouldn't be the same without that magical touch of cocoa. From the melted chocolate that coats our churros to the irresistible combinations with Nutella, cocoa is present in the sweetest moments we share with you.

A fruit with history

Cacao has its roots in the ancient civilizations of Latin America, especially in Mesoamerican cultures such as the Mayans and Aztecs. For them, cacao was more than just a food: it was considered a gift from the gods, used in sacred ceremonies, and valued as currency.

Over time, cacao has crossed oceans, conquered palates around the world, and evolved into a wide range of forms, from hot beverages to chocolate bars and spreads. But its essence remains the same: a fruit that connects hearts through flavor.

Cocoa in our history

As a Latin American brand, CHURRO MANIA® has a deep connection with cacao. Not only because it's present in many of our products, but because it represents the best of our roots: natural, authentic, and full of love.

When our founders first imagined a shop where churros were the star, they knew they couldn't miss chocolate combinations. And how could they resist? There's something magical about the contrast between a freshly made churro, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and that touch of molten cocoa that elevates it to another level.

Today, with stores in several countries and a growing community, we continue to strive to keep the essence of cocoa alive, not only in our recipes, but in what it represents: unity, culture, and shared pleasure.

Why do we love cocoa so much?

The answer is simple: cocoa awakens emotions. It reminds us of childhood, of moments of celebration, of those necessary pauses in the day that transform into moments of pure happiness.

At CHURRO MANIA®, we see it every day. We see how a child's eyes light up when they try a TwistMania® with Nutella, or how a couple laughs while sharing a CrispyManía® covered in chocolate. Cocoa doesn't just add flavor; it brings memories to life.

And it's no coincidence. It's scientifically proven that cocoa contains compounds that stimulate the production of serotonin and dopamine, the happiness hormones. So yes, when we say our products make you happy, we mean it!

This July 7th, we invite you to celebrate World Cocoa Day the right way: by treating yourself to a sweet and flavorful treat at your favorite CHURRO MANIA® store.

More than flavor, a commitment

In addition to celebrating cacao as an ingredient, we also want to honor those who make it possible: the farmers and communities who cultivate it with dedication, often in difficult conditions. Cacao is a symbol of honest work, connection to the land, and collective effort.

That's why at CHURRO MANIA® we are committed to continuing to promote quality products that respect our roots and celebrate the ingredients that unite us as a global culture.
