  Chocolate

  Fine products are available all over the world.
  THE DISCOVERY OF CHOCOLATE, THE DRINK OF THE GODS
  Christopher Columbus discovered chocolate in the New World. The Aztecs consumed it in the form of a drink made
  from cocoa beans and spices. Nothing like the chocolate that we enjoy today. However, the Aztecs valued this sacred
  drink so highly that only the rich were allowed to drink it. Cocoa beans were also used as a currency by the natives.
  In the beginning the conquistadors saw cocoa as a means of exchange to obtain gold only.
  CHOCOLATE CONQUERS THE OLD CONTINENT
  Thanks to the addition of sugar, cocoa became a highly appreciated drink among European nobles. At that time,
  doctors prescribed chocolate to treat certain illnesses. The production secrets of chocolate were jealously guarded
  by the Spanish aristocracy. Despite everything, the success of this drink spread across Europe. Every country came to
  appreciate and adapt it according to its own national tastes and temperament.
  CHOCOLATES AND THE «BALLOTIN», OR BELGIAN CHOCOLATES
  Right from the start of its history in Belgium, chocolate was made to be given away. It was in 1912 that the
  Belgian confectionary industry invented «the chocolate» as we know it today: a bite-sized chocolate with a filling,
  perfectly in line with its vocation to be given away. In order to preserve the delicacy of these fine chocolates, special
  packaging was patented under the name of «ballotin» - a punned-shaped box. Since then, embellished with the
  most beautiful attributes, the box of chocolates has become the ideal gift for all occasions.
  Today, Leonidas is a world-renowned chocolate maker, selling over 100 different kinds of Belgian chocolate through 1,400 outlets around the world. Yet the beliefs that first inspired the company nearly one hundred years ago are as strong as ever.
  
  We would like to export this experience and our belgian chocolate to Norway but we need your support.
  Norwegians like chocolate! This affirmation is confirmed by statistics They are the second eater of chocolates on the world.
  Do you want help us to start this opportunity? Great because we are looking for partners in Norway

  Re: Chocolate

  Many thx for your reaction but the project Norway is also a dream and you know how it is crucial to realize his dreams
  China could be very interesting but I think to have not enough experience of this market, culture and language to begin in your country.
  But I will give you all the support that you need if you want to start with this concept.
  Contact me by mail or Skype for more info.
