While it may not have much info regarding what you seek, the
"Encyclopedia of Food and Culture" is a great resource unmatched by
any on line resource.
http://www.enotes.com/food-encyclopedia/chocolate
It is an in-print book, which costs about $900 last I looked. It
has only recently been made available on-line for free (used to be
by subscription only).
This would be of interest to anyone here in rec.food.historic, and
some people in rec.food.cooking as well.

It is also downloadable VIA torrents.
