Gourmet Gift Basket

A Gourmet Gift Basket is often the answer for your gift-giving needs. And how easy! Chocolate.com always has a great selection of gift baskets ready and waiting, just for you!

Do you need to thank a colleague from work? Congratulate someone’s promotion? Celebrate a milestone in business or celebrate a personal occasion? Consider the Gourmet Gift Baskets found in the Gift Basket category of Chocolate.com!

The Wellfleet Basket is made by the Wellfleet Candy Company, and contains a bit of each of the many specialties for which they are known. Finally, our Romantic Fox Hunt Picnic Basket definitely brings a different, outdoorsy touch. It’s for elegant equestrians, or for wooing your favorite fox hunter.

Which brings us ‘round to our jolly old friends across the pond. The most venerable of all food purveyors in London: Fortnum and Mason,still located in Piccadilly as they have been for quite many a year, always have their fair share of the Gourmet Gift Basket variety. But as Chocolate.com refers to them as the Gourmet Gift Basket, the British call them Hampers. Quite distasteful, isn’t it? Due to our definition of the word “hamper” and the thought of what is stored in said item. But carrying on, if one was to drop into Fortnum and Mason for a Chocolate Tasting Box (listed under Hampers), you would see that for only 150 pounds sterling, or over $300 American you could pick it up! Ahhh, the proud owner of 12 chocolates, “a pincer, and a special knife alongside the specimens themselves.” Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? I know I always eat my chocolate with a pincer and a knife!

The moral of this story? Chocolate.com!

did you know
A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
