Valentine's Day Gift Boxes

Why give chocolate on Valentine's Day?

Chocolate is a mysterious delicacy . Why is it so hard to resist and why has it become such a symbol of love? The explanation could come from chemistry .

A chocolate that has a high cocoa content (this is the case with Sigoji chocolates) contains phenylethylamine . This complicated-named molecule is also called the “love molecule” . She would play a major role in love at first sight .

Chocolate does not act like a love potion (it would be known), but it would have a positive impact on the mood and would allow to awaken the senses .
