Why give chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Offering a gift that is both romantic and deliciously gourmet for Valentine's Day is a very old tradition... that dates back to the Aztecs! They consumed a drink made from cocoa, vanilla, pepper, cloves and other spices, "Xocolatl" (later renamed chocolate by the Spanish), reputed to have an aphrodisiac effect. Imported into Europe in the 17th century, chocolate was all the rage among those who wanted to stimulate their ardor. Its consumption was even prohibited in some convents, the drink " heating up minds and passions " good sisters.
Whether you believe in these virtues or not, chocolate does contain (in small quantities, however 😉) phenylethylamine. A very complicated name for a natural hormone, which is also called the "love hormone", because this endorphin causes the same sensations as being in love. An English chocolatier had a brilliant idea in 1861. He made a heart-shaped box for his chocolates, a gift box that could then contain the sweet words exchanged between two lovers. His discovery was a huge success! The tradition of chocolate on Valentine's Day has since become well-established in romantic customs... and gourmets are not complaining!

The different beans are then assembled, roasted and ground in our factory in Tours, France, according to traditional methods.
