Seeing the suffering of the people, the counts kind and beautiful wife, Lady Godiva, decided to plead with the count to reduce taxes and reduce the peoples burden. Count Leofric was furious, thinking that it was embarrassing for Lady Godiva to beg so hard for these cry-loving pariahs. Lady Godiva replied that the count would find how honorable these people were. They decided to make a bet - Lady Godiva would ride naked through the streets of the city, with only her long hair covering her body. If all the people stayed indoors and did not peek at Lady Godiva, the Earl would announce a tax cut. The next morning, Mrs. Godiva mounted her horse and walked towards the city. All the people in Coventry City honestly hid in their houses so that the great benefactor would not be humiliated. Afterwards, Count Leofric kept his promise and announced a city-wide tax reduction. This is the famous legend of Lady Godiva.
Lindt——Lindt
Lindt has many loyal fans around the world. Its advantage is that it is smooth and delicate and melts in your mouth. This mainly relies on the "chocolate mixing process" uniquely invented by Rodolphe Lindt Swiss Chocolate Company in 1879. Its main principle: A grinder is a container containing wooden or metal beads that perform a grinding effect. While the materials inside are ground and mixed, friction generates heat at the same time. This grinding process is used to make chocolate, and the ingredients are mixed for up to 78 hours. After such a long time of grinding, the cocoa and raw materials are mixed into a smooth, delicate and silky milky shape, exuding a rich fragrance, thus maintaining its unique taste and flavor. To this day, this unique innovation is still used by Lindt’s chocolatiers.
At the same time, the reason why Lindt can maintain such good performance is related to its insistence on excellent quality and excellent workmanship. For more than 160 years, Lindt chocolate masters have made chocolates that are famous for their high quality and delicious taste. They start by purchasing and selecting the best cocoa beans themselves, and unremittingly ensure the quality of their products. Chocolate masters use professional skills and unique vision to select high-quality cocoa beans to maintain the uniqueness of their products. The masters pay attention to every detail with their own professional standards. When choosing other ingredients, they pay more attention to quality. Many of the raw materials are shipped from Switzerland thousands of miles from other countries. For example, almonds from California in the United States, hazelnuts from Turkey, etc. have been strictly controlled for hundreds of years. In addition, 18 Lindt (Lindt) chocolate masters have devoted themselves to research and production. With the passion and concentration of making handicrafts, Lindt has continued The brands reputation in the world creates a long-lasting high-quality reputation for the brand in the world.

La Maison du Chocolate
La Maison du Chocolate, a famous Parisian chocolate shop, was founded by Robert Linxe, the most famous contemporary chocolatier. It has branches in New York and Tokyo. Robert Linxe was the first master to bring dark chocolate and concepts of cocoa origin and quality into the mainstream market; cloyingly sweet chocolate candies no longer please the discerning appetites of a new generation of gourmets. Nowadays, dark chocolate with a cocoa content of more than 43%, or even as high as 70-80%, can represent the deep richness contained in it. – So thick that it can’t be melted away, maybe that’s the best way to describe it. The bitter taste of chocolate perfectly retains and displays the original characteristics of the cocoa beans; in terms of taste, it has richer layers and textures, and the aftertaste is deep and intriguing.
Every new product launched by La Maison du Chocolate is enough to influence the fashion trend of chocolate. La Maison du Chocolates chocolate flavor is delicate and mellow, with an elegant and long finish. The new products that have attracted much attention in the past two years are the Les Conservation fruity series, as well as the flavors of thyme, rosemary and jasmine.
Bacio Perugina - Kiss (Italian)
BACI is the plural form of the word "kiss" in Italian. Berruga, Italy, is the production place of the famous chocolate Perugina (Baci), which is known as Italys national treasure chocolate. The Chocolate Festival is also held every year in Beluga, the hometown of chocolate.
Baci is composed of pure chocolate and a nut inside. The shape is very pleasant, the taste is pure and rich, and the outer packaging features a blue star pattern, which is very eye-catching. It can be found in every corner of every city in Italy. Especially when Valentines Day comes, Bacis value and sales are even more popular. No wonder Valentines DayMaybe it’s because of the fact that chocolates are given as gifts! This shows how important Baci is in the hearts of Italians. The romantic quality of the Italian nation is sublimated in all aspects of life. Whether it is the boatmen singing love songs in Venice or the emerald green in Xu Zhimos works, there are unforgettable touches everywhere.
Baci inherits the romance of the Italian nation and was born in 1992. At that time, there was a girl named Luisa Spagnol in this chocolate factory who had a crush on a boy but was too shy to reveal it, so she made it by herself every day. Give him handmade chocolates, and write a small love note to put in the chocolates every day. Later, the lovers finally got married. They made the chocolates they tied together as Baci chocolates and sold them in the hope that it would lead to more couples. Each chocolate also included a motto with different love words inside. The small note, with poems in four languages, transcends language barriers and expresses romantic feelings. Baci chocolate can be said to be the sweetest Italian kiss. It is a chocolate that can express your love and affection for you. Whether it is family, friendship, or love, it can also be a good gift to pamper yourself. To this day, each BACI still has its own little note of love mottos, hoping that BACI can convey the deepest feelings in the heart.
Peruggia and Turin are two famous chocolate producing areas in Italy, and the famous Baci (a chocolate called "Kiss") has become the representative of Perugia. Perugina - Perugias chocolate factory, founded in 1907, has the same logo as the city symbol of Perugia. The history of modern Perugia is also the history of Perugina.
I watched documentaries introducing the history of Perugina and advertisements from different periods, visited his chocolate museum, and went to the workshop to see the production process. As soon as I entered the workshop, I was hit by the tangy aroma of chocolate that made me want to drool. However, summer is not the season when Italians love to eat chocolate, so this factory with 1,400 people only has a few workers operating, producing a small amount of chocolate, and working normally. The time starts from June every year and ends in February of the next year. The Perugia Chocolate Festival in October every year attracts chocolate lovers from all over the world. In the morning, Perugia will place the large Baci, three meters high and seven meters in diameter, prepared early in the morning next to the large fountain in the Square of November 4th for the whole city. People visit it and it is placed this way because both the Baci and the fountain have become symbols of Perugia. In the evening, the big Baci will be smashed open with a hammer and distributed to people throughout the city, free of charge!
