Long associated with romance dating back to the time of the Aztecs, chocolate is the perfect gift. Nothing makes the senses run wild more than receiving a box of delicious chocolates. Carefully peeling back the wrapping to reveal beautifully handcrafted chocolate and relishing the taste of each one is a delectable experience, and one to be shared and savoured.
In fact, scientists ascribe the aphrodisiac qualities of chocolate to two chemicals it contains. One, tryptophan, is a building block of serotonin, a brain chemical involved in sexual arousal. The other, phenylethylamine, a stimulant related to amphetamine, is released in the brain when people fall in love.
State Buildings resident chocolatier, Sue Lewis Chocolatier, creates fresh handmade chocolates using the world’s finest covertures blended with local, seasonal and often organic produce. Sue brings over 20 years experience and much dedication and passion to her craft, which is evident from the very first bite.
So whether you are celebrating age-old love, rekindling a romance or simply spoiling someone special this Valentine’s Day, be sure to visit Sue Lewis Chocolatier at the State Buildings.
