Valentine Day

This Theobroma's chocolate is for Mitsuhiro.

There are 6 kinds x 2 pieces of chocorate in the box, named Carres Degustation. Why did I buy it? Off course, I also enjoy chocorate! The difference of each chocorate is how much percentage of cacao is included.
Some of cacao are from different origin. Just opening the box, it smells rich cacao's aroma.

6 chocolates are named as,

①　carenero
cacao- 41% included. made of Venezuelan carenero(cacao), milk chocolate which tastes like caramel.
②　rio carribe
cacao- 61% included. made of the best quality cacao from carribe river area in Venezuela
③　Sambirano
cacao-66% included. made of curioro in Madagascar. 66% is likely to be best ratio to taste chocolat.
④　ocumare
cacao-70% included. made of quite rare kind of cacao in Venezuela.
⑤　extra amer
cacao-80% included. bitter chocolat. blended several kinds of cacao from Africa, middle-souce America.
⑥　grand amer
cacao-90% included. bitter chocolat. Original brend by Koji Tsuchiya, chocolatier with Theobroma.

In Japan, Valentine Day is very special event not only for lady in love but lady who trust relationship is important:-p Lady or girl who is in love prepares chocolate for someone special. On the other hand, there are many ladies or girls
who intend to give valentine's chocolate to someone out of a sense of social obligation. We call such chocolate out of courtesy as "Giri Choco".

Confectionery companies focus on Valentine Day sale from the end of January. This is well-organized marketing strategy!

Actually, I also buy chocolate for Mitsuhiro and "Giri Choco" for my colleague and boss:-p
