Summer is here! Ah, the picnics in the park, the days at the beach. The invitations for barbecue and the birthday parties. But what is appropriate to bring or send?
Chocolate is a tough gift to send in the Summer, because it’s much more expensive to pack with ice and send overnight. For that reason, other types of gift become much better suited for the occasion:
1. Try Cookies instead of chocolates. They satisfy the sweet tooth, travel well and can be stored.
2. Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate are a crowd-pleasers and can be kept for enjoyment whenever the mood strikes.
3. Condiments. For a tasty change, try Harissa or Tapenade on hot-dogs and burgers.
4. Nuts. Always a welcome gift and great for parties.
5. Books. Really easy to pack and send and great choices for cooks and foodies. And, ours are even signed by the authors!

We at Savorique love Lindsey Partos at Confectionerynews.com. She unveiled a small study in the UK which found that the naturally high content of cocoa flavanols (a class of flavonoids) contained in chocolate drinks “improved cognitive performance in arithmetic tests”. High levels of cocoa flavanols seem to increase cerebral blood flow which in the end improves performance on mentally demanding tasks.
Previous studies have showed cocoa flavanols’ health benefits with heart decease and stress for example.
No longer feel guilty for succumbing to our flavanol-rich hot chocolate collection!

The history of Valentine’s Day is obscure, and further clouded by various fanciful legends. So little is known in fact that the Catholic Church removed his feast day from the official list in 1969. This pagan holiday roots in ancient Roman times.
Most scholars believe that Saint Valentine was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. At this stage, fact ends and myth begins. According to one legend, Claudius II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. St. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death on Feb 14th.
Ever since, lovers exchange gifts such as chocolate on that very day. Chocolate contains substances, such as theobromine, which relax and lower inhibitions while increasing desire for physical contact. It was actually banned from some monasteries centuries ago! Chocolate contains more antioxidant (cancer preventing enzymes) than does red wine. The secret for passion is to combine the two.
Both can be found on savorique.com
So, benefit from Casanova’s lead and become a chocolate fanatic too!
